Rust contains various size checks conditional on target_arch = "x86_64",
but these checks were never intended to apply to
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnux32. Add target_pointer_width = "64" to the
conditions.

This PR extends the language with a new lang item for the `Pointee` trait which is special-cased in trait resolution to implement it for all types. Even in generic contexts, parameters can be assumed to implement it without a corresponding bound.
For this I mostly imitated what the compiler was already doing for the `DiscriminantKind` trait. I’m very unfamiliar with compiler internals, so careful review is appreciated.
This PR also extends the standard library with new unstable APIs in `core::ptr` and `std::ptr`:
```rust
pub trait Pointee {
/// One of `()`, `usize`, or `DynMetadata<dyn SomeTrait>`
type Metadata: Copy + Send + Sync + Ord + Hash + Unpin;
}
pub trait Thin = Pointee<Metadata = ()>;
pub const fn metadata<T: ?Sized>(ptr: *const T) -> <T as Pointee>::Metadata {}
pub const fn from_raw_parts<T: ?Sized>(*const (), <T as Pointee>::Metadata) -> *const T {}
pub const fn from_raw_parts_mut<T: ?Sized>(*mut (),<T as Pointee>::Metadata) -> *mut T {}
impl<T: ?Sized> NonNull<T> {
pub const fn from_raw_parts(NonNull<()>, <T as Pointee>::Metadata) -> NonNull<T> {}
/// Convenience for `(ptr.cast(), metadata(ptr))`
pub const fn to_raw_parts(self) -> (NonNull<()>, <T as Pointee>::Metadata) {}
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *const T {
pub const fn to_raw_parts(self) -> (*const (), <T as Pointee>::Metadata) {}
}
impl<T: ?Sized> *mut T {
pub const fn to_raw_parts(self) -> (*mut (), <T as Pointee>::Metadata) {}
}
/// `<dyn SomeTrait as Pointee>::Metadata == DynMetadata<dyn SomeTrait>`
pub struct DynMetadata<Dyn: ?Sized> {
// Private pointer to vtable
}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> DynMetadata<Dyn> {
pub fn size_of(self) -> usize {}
pub fn align_of(self) -> usize {}
pub fn layout(self) -> crate::alloc::Layout {}
}
unsafe impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Send for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
unsafe impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Sync for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Debug for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Unpin for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Copy for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Clone for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Eq for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> PartialEq for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Ord for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> PartialOrd for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
impl<Dyn: ?Sized> Hash for DynMetadata<Dyn> {}
```
API differences from the RFC, in areas noted as unresolved questions in the RFC:
* Module-level functions instead of associated `from_raw_parts` functions on `*const T` and `*mut T`, following the precedent of `null`, `slice_from_raw_parts`, etc.
* Added `to_raw_parts`
Suggest to create a new `const` item if the `fn` in the array is a `const fn`
Fixes#73734. If the `fn` in the array repeat expression is a `const fn`, suggest creating a new `const` item. On nightly, suggest creating an inline `const` block. This PR also removes the `suggest_const_in_array_repeat_expressions` as it is no longer necessary.
Example:
```rust
fn main() {
// Should not compile but hint to create a new const item (stable) or an inline const block (nightly)
let strings: [String; 5] = [String::new(); 5];
println!("{:?}", strings);
}
```
Gives this error:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `std::string::String: std::marker::Copy` is not satisfied
--> $DIR/const-fn-in-vec.rs:3:32
|
2 | let strings: [String; 5] = [String::new(); 5];
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `std::marker::Copy` is not implemented for `String`
|
= note: the `Copy` trait is required because the repeated element will be copied
```
With this change, this is the error message:
```
error[E0277]: the trait bound `String: Copy` is not satisfied
--> $DIR/const-fn-in-vec.rs:3:32
|
LL | let strings: [String; 5] = [String::new(); 5];
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the trait `Copy` is not implemented for `String`
|
= help: moving the function call to a new `const` item will resolve the error
```
Rename `optin_builtin_traits` to `auto_traits`
They were originally called "opt-in, built-in traits" (OIBITs), but
people realized that the name was too confusing and a mouthful, and so
they were renamed to just "auto traits". The feature flag's name wasn't
updated, though, so that's what this PR does.
There are some other spots in the compiler that still refer to OIBITs,
but I don't think changing those now is worth it since they are internal
and not particularly relevant to this PR.
Also see <https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/opt-in.2C.20built-in.20traits.20(auto.20traits).20feature.20name>.

Reduce boilerplate with the matches! macro
Replaces simple bool `match`es of the form
match $expr {
$pattern => true
_ => false
}
and their inverse with invocations of the matches! macro.
Limited to rustc_middle for now to get my feet wet.
More structured suggestions for boxed trait objects instead of impl Trait on non-coerceable tail expressions
When encountering a `match` or `if` as a tail expression where the
different arms do not have the same type *and* the return type of that
`fn` is an `impl Trait`, check whether those arms can implement `Trait`
and if so, suggest using boxed trait objects.
Use structured suggestion for `impl T` to `Box<dyn T>`.
