Remove `SymbolStr`
This was originally proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74554#discussion_r466203544. As well as removing the icky `SymbolStr` type, it allows the removal of a lot of `&` and `*` occurrences.

Handle unordered const/ty generics for object lifetime defaults

By changing `as_str()` to take `&self` instead of `self`, we can just
return `&str`. We're still lying about lifetimes, but it's a smaller lie
than before, where `SymbolStr` contained a (fake) `&'static str`!
* Annotate `derive`d spans from the user's code with the appropciate context
* Add `Span::can_be_used_for_suggestion` to query if the underlying span
at the users' code
This function parameter attribute was introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44866 as an intermediate step in implementing `impl Trait`, it's not necessary or used anywhere by itself.
Type inference for inline consts
Fixes#78132Fixes#78174Fixes#81857Fixes#89964
Perform type checking/inference of inline consts in the same context as the outer def, similar to what is currently done to closure.
Doing so would require `closure_base_def_id` of the inline const to return the outer def, and since `closure_base_def_id` can be called on non-local crate (and thus have no HIR available), a new `DefKind` is created for inline consts.
The type of the generated anon const can capture lifetime of outer def, so we couldn't just use the typeck result as the type of the inline const's def. Closure has a similar issue, and it uses extra type params `CK, CS, U` to capture closure kind, input/output signature and upvars. I use a similar approach for inline consts, letting it have an extra type param `R`, and then `typeof(InlineConst<[paremt generics], R>)` would just be `R`. In borrowck region requirements are also propagated to the outer MIR body just like it's currently done for closure.
With this PR, inline consts in expression position are quitely usable now; however the usage in pattern position is still incomplete -- since those does not remain in the MIR borrowck couldn't verify the lifetime there. I have left an ignored test as a FIXME.

All `*Kind`s in AST are supposed to be enums.
Tuple structs are converted to braced structs for the types above, and fields are reordered in syntactic order.
Also, mutable AST visitor now correctly visit spans in defaultness, unsafety, impl polarity and constness.
resolve: Use `NameBinding` for local variables and generic parameters
`NameBinding` is a structure used for representing any name introduction (an item, or import, or even a built-in).
Except that local variables and generic parameters weren't represented as `NameBinding`s, for this reason they requires separate paths in name resolution code in several places.
This PR introduces `NameBinding`s for local variables as well and simplifies all the code working with them leaving only the `NameBinding` paths.
Adopt let_else across the compiler
This performs a substitution of code following the pattern:
```
let <id> = if let <pat> = ... { identity } else { ... : ! };
```
To simplify it to:
```
let <pat> = ... { identity } else { ... : ! };
```
By adopting the `let_else` feature (cc #87335).
The PR also updates the syn crate because the currently used version of the crate doesn't support `let_else` syntax yet.
Note: Generally I'm the person who *removes* usages of unstable features from the compiler, not adds more usages of them, but in this instance I think it hopefully helps the feature get stabilized sooner and in a better state. I have written a [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87335#issuecomment-944846205) on the tracking issue about my experience and what I feel could be improved before stabilization of `let_else`.
The syn crate has gained support for let_else syntax in version 1.0.76,
see https://github.com/dtolnay/syn/pull/1057 .
In the three instances that use let_else, we've sent code through an
attr macro, which would create compile errors when there was no
let_else support in syn. To avoid this, we ran
`cargo +nightly update -p syn` for updating the syn crate.
Suggest similarly named associated items in trait impls
Fix#85942
Previously, the compiler didn't suggest similarly named associated items unlike we do in many situations. This patch adds such diagnostics for associated functions, types, and constants.

Skip single use lifetime lint for generated opaque types
Fix: #77175
The opaque type generated by the desugaring process of an async function uses the lifetimes defined by the originating function. The DefId for the lifetimes in the opaque type are different from the ones in the originating async function - as they should be, as far as I understand, and could therefore be considered a single use lifetimes, this causes the single_use_lifetimes lint to fail compilation if explicitly denied. This fix skips the lint for lifetimes used only once in generated opaque types for an async function that are declared in the parent async function definition.

Use smaller spans for some structured suggestions
Use more accurate suggestion spans for
* argument parse error
* fully qualified path
* missing code block type
* numeric casts
