remove this weird special case from promotion

Promotion has a special case to ignore interior mutability under some specific circumstances. The purpose of this PR is to figure out what changes if we remove that. Since `Cell::new` and friends only get promoted inside `const`/`static` initializers these days, it actually is not easy to exploit this case: you need something like
```rust
const TEST_INTERIOR_MUT: () = {
    // The "0." case is already ruled out by not permitting any interior mutability in `const`.
    let _val: &'static _ = &(Cell::new(1), 2).1;
};
```

I assume something like `&Some(&(Cell::new(1), 2).1)` would hit the nested case inside `validate_rvalue`... though I am not sure why that would not just trigger nested promotion, first promoting the inner reference and then the outer one?

Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/67534 (by simply rejecting that code^^)
