Remove support for `dyn*` from the compiler
This PR removes support for `dyn*` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/102425), which are a currently un-RFC'd experiment that was opened a few years ago to explore a component that we thought was necessary for AFIDT (async fn in dyn trait).
It doesn't seem like we are going to need `dyn*` types -- even in an not-exposed-to-the-user way[^1] -- for us to implement AFIDT. Given that AFIDT was the original motivating purpose of `dyn*` types, I don't really see a compelling reason to have to maintain their implementation in the compiler.
[^1]: Compared to, e.g., generators whih are an unstable building block we use to implement stable syntax like `async {}`.
We've learned quite a lot from `dyn*`, but I think at this point its current behavior leads to more questions than answers. For example, `dyn*` support today remains somewhat fragile; it ICEs in many cases where the current "normal" `dyn Trait` types rely on their unsizedness for their vtable-based implementation to be sound I wouldn't be surprised if it's unsound in other ways, though I didn't play around with it too much. See the examples below.
```rust
#![feature(dyn_star)]
trait Foo {
fn hello(self);
}
impl Foo for usize {
fn hello(self) {
println!("hello, world");
}
}
fn main() {
let x: dyn* Foo = 1usize;
x.hello();
}
```
And:
```rust
#![feature(dyn_star)]
trait Trait {
type Out where Self: Sized;
}
fn main() {
let x: <dyn* Trait as Trait>::Out;
}
```
...and probably many more problems having to do with the intersection of dyn-compatibility and `Self: Sized` bounds that I was too lazy to look into like:
* GATs
* Methods with invalid signatures
* Associated consts
Generally, `dyn*` types also end up getting in the way of working with [normal `dyn` types](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/102425#issuecomment-1712604409) to an extent that IMO outweighs the benefit of experimentation.
I recognize that there are probably other, more creative usages of `dyn*` that are orthogonal to AFIDT. However, I think any work along those lines should first have to think through some of the more fundamental interactions between `dyn*` and dyn-compatibility before we think about reimplementing them in the type system.

I'm planning on removing the `DynKind` enum and the `PointerLike` built-in trait from the compiler after this PR lands.

New const traits syntax
This PR only affects the AST and doesn't actually change anything semantically.
All occurrences of `~const` outside of libcore have been replaced by `[const]`. Within libcore we have to wait for rustfmt to be bumped in the bootstrap compiler. This will happen "automatically" (when rustfmt is run) during the bootstrap bump, as rustfmt converts `~const` into `[const]`. After this we can remove the `~const` support from the parser
Caveat discovered during impl: there is no legacy bare trait object recovery for `[const] Trait` as that snippet in type position goes down the slice /array parsing code and will error

mbe: Clean up code with non-optional `NonterminalKind`
Since [rust-lang/rust#128425], the fragment specifier is unconditionally required in all
editions. This means `NonTerminalKind` no longer needs to be optional,
as we can reject this code during the expansion of `macro_rules!` rather
than handling it throughout the code. Do this cleanup here.

Marks ADT live if it appears in pattern
Marks ADT live if it appears in pattern, it implies the construction of the ADT.
1. Then we can detect unused private ADTs impl `Default`, without special logics for `Default` and other std traits.
2. We can also remove `rustc_trivial_field_reads` on `Default`, and the logic in `should_ignore_item` (introduced by rust-lang/rust#126302).

Rework how the disallowed qualifier in function type diagnostics are generated
This pull request fixes two independent issues:
1. When qualifiers of a function type ptr are in the wrong order and one of them is async/const (not permitted on function types), the diagnostic suggests removing the incorrect qualifier. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/142268, which is an issue created by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133151. This is fixed by moving the check into `parse_fn_front_matter`, where better span information is available to generate the right suggestions.
2. When qualifiers of a function type ptr are in the wrong order and one of them is async/const (not permitted on function types), `cargo fix` crashes because "cannot replace slice of data that was already replaced". This is fixed by not generating a suggestion for the "wrong order" diagnostic if the "disallowed qualifier" diagnostic is triggered.
There is a commit with failing tests so the test diff is clearer

compiletest: Do not require annotations on empty labels and suggestions
Unlike other empty diagnostics, empty labels (only underlining spans) and empty suggestions (suggestions to remove something) are quite usual and do not require any special attention and annotations.
This effectively reverts a part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139485.

Check if format argument is identifier to avoid error err-emit
Fixes#139104
When `argument` is not an identifier, it should not be considered a field access. I checked this and if not emit an invalid format string error. I think we could do with a little finer error handling, I'll open an issue to track this down later.
The first commit submits the ui test, the second commits the code and the changes to the test output.
