Rollup merge of #145838 - dianne:non-extending-super-let, r=jackh726,traviscross
don't apply temporary lifetime extension rules to non-extended `super let`

Reference PR: rust-lang/reference#1980

This changes the semantics for `super let` (and macros implemented in terms of it, such as `pin!`, `format_args!`, `write!`, and `println!`) as suggested by ````@theemathas```` in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/145784#issuecomment-3218658335, making `super let` initializers only count as [extending expressions](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/reference/destructors.html#extending-based-on-expressions) when the `super let` itself is within an extending block. Since `super let` initializers aren't temporary drop scopes, their temporaries outside of inner temporary scopes are effectively always extended, even when not in extending positions; this only affects two cases as far as I can tell:
- Block tail expressions in Rust 2024. This PR makes `f(pin!({ &temp() }))` drop `temp()` at the end of the block in Rust 2024, whereas previously it would live until after the call to `f` because syntactically the `temp()` was in an extending position as a result of `super let` in `pin!`'s expansion.
- `super let` nested within a non-extended `super let` is no longer extended. i.e. a normal `let` is required to treat `super let`s as extending (in which case nested `super let`s will also be extending).

Closes rust-lang/rust#145784

This is a breaking change. Both static and dynamic semantics are affected. The most likely breakage is for programs to stop compiling, but it's technically possible for drop order to silently change as well (as in rust-lang/rust#145784). Since this affects stable macros, it probably would need a crater run.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
