The version string is difficult to properly normalize out, and removing
it isn't a huge deal (the user can query version info easily through
`rustc --version` or `cargo --version`).
The normalization options were all non-ideal:
- Per-test version string normalization is nasty to maintain, and we
need to maintain `n` copies of it.
- Centralized compiletest normalization (with a directive opt-out) is
also not ideal, because `cfg(version(..))` tests can't have those
accidentally normalized out (and you'd have to remember to opt-out).
By using `token_descr`, as is done for many other errors, we can get
slightly better descriptions in error messages, e.g.
"macro expansion ignores token `let` and any following" becomes
"macro expansion ignores keyword `let` and any tokens following".
This will be more important once invisible delimiters start being
mentioned in error messages -- without this commit, that leads to error
messages such as "error at ``" because invisible delimiters are
pretty printed as an empty string.
`missing_fragment_specifier` has been a future compatibility warning
since 2017. Uplifting it to an unconditional hard error was attempted in
2020, but eventually reverted due to fallout.
Make it an error only in edition >= 2024, leaving the lint for older
editions. This change will make it easier to support more macro syntax
that relies on usage of `$`.

Spruce up the diagnostics of some early lints
Implement the various "*(note to myself) in a follow-up PR we should turn parts of this message into a subdiagnostic (help msg or even struct sugg)*" drive-by comments I left in #124417 during my review.
For context, before #124417, only a few early lints touched/decorated/customized their diagnostic because the former API made it a bit awkward. Likely because of that, things that should've been subdiagnostics were just crammed into the primary message. This PR rectifies this.
We still check for the `rental`/`allsorts-rental` crates. But now if
they are detected we just emit a fatal error, instead of emitting a
warning and providing alternative behaviour.
The original "hack" implementing alternative behaviour was added
in #73345.
The lint was added in #83127.
The tracking issue is #83125.
The direct motivation for the change is that providing the alternative
behaviour is interfering with #125174 and follow-on work.

The error mentions `///`, when it's actually `//!`:
```

These functions are only used in `rustc_builtin_macros`, so it makes
sense for them to live there. This allows them to be changed from `pub`
to `pub(crate)`.
Because a macro invocation can expand to a never pattern, we can't rule
out a `arm!(),` arm at parse time. Instead we detect that case at
expansion time, if the macro tries to output a pattern followed by `=>`.
This makes it easier to open the messages file while developing on features.
