Integrate privacy into field and method selection
This PR integrates privacy checking into field and method selection so that an inaccessible field/method can not stop an accessible field/method from being used (fixes#12808 and fixes#22684).

diagnostics: make paths to external items more visible
This PR changes the reported path for an external item so that it is visible from at least one local module (i.e. it does not use any inaccessible external modules) if possible. If the external item's crate was declared with an `extern crate`, the path is guarenteed to use the `extern crate`.
Fixes#23224, fixes#23355, fixes#26635, fixes#27165.

Gate parser recovery via debugflag
Gate parser recovery via debugflag
Put in `-Z continue_parse_after_error`
This works by adding a method, `fn abort_if_no_parse_recovery`, to the
diagnostic handler in `syntax::errors`, and calling it after each
error is emitted in the parser.
(We might consider adding a debugflag to do such aborts in other
places where we are currently attempting recovery, such as resolve,
but I think the parser is the really important case to handle in the
face of #31994 and the parser bugs of varying degrees that were
injected by parse error recovery.)

parser recovery (so that expected errors match up)
I'm opting into parser recovery in all these cases out of expediency,
not because the error messages you get with recovery enabled are
actually all that usable in all cases listed.
Prevent bumping the parser past the EOF.
Makes `Parser::bump` after EOF into an ICE, forcing callers to avoid repeated EOF bumps.
This ICE is intended to break infinite loops where EOF wasn't stopping the loop.
For example, the handling of EOF in `parse_trait_items`' recovery loop fixes#32446.
But even without this specific fix, the ICE is triggered, which helps diagnosis and UX.
This is a `[breaking-change]` for plugins authors who eagerly eat multiple EOFs.
See https://github.com/docopt/docopt.rs/pull/171 for such an example and the necessary fix.
melt the ICE when lowering an impossible range
Emit a fatal error instead of panicking when HIR lowering encounters a range with no `end` point.
This involved adding a method to wire up `LoweringContext::span_fatal`.
Fixes#32245 (cc @nodakai).

Restrict constants in patterns
This implements [RFC 1445](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/1445-restrict-constants-in-patterns.md). The primary change is to limit the types of constants used in patterns to those that *derive* `Eq` (note that implementing `Eq` is not sufficient). This has two main effects:
1. Floating point constants are linted, and will eventually be disallowed. This is because floating point constants do not implement `Eq` but only `PartialEq`. This check replaces the existing special case code that aimed to detect the use of `NaN`.
2. Structs and enums must derive `Eq` to be usable within a match.
This is a [breaking-change]: if you encounter a problem, you are most likely using a constant in an expression where the type of the constant is some struct that does not currently implement
`Eq`. Something like the following:
```rust
struct SomeType { ... }
const SOME_CONST: SomeType = ...;
match foo {
SOME_CONST => ...
}
```
The easiest and most future compatible fix is to annotate the type in question with `#[derive(Eq)]` (note that merely *implementing* `Eq` is not enough, it must be *derived*):
```rust
struct SomeType { ... }
const SOME_CONST: SomeType = ...;
match foo {
SOME_CONST => ...
}
```
Another good option is to rewrite the match arm to use an `if` condition (this is also particularly good for floating point types, which implement `PartialEq` but not `Eq`):
```rust
match foo {
c if c == SOME_CONST => ...
}
```
Finally, a third alternative is to tag the type with `#[structural_match]`; but this is not recommended, as the attribute is never expected to be stabilized. Please see RFC #1445 for more details.

resolve: Minimize hacks in name resolution of primitive types
When resolving the first unqualified segment in a path with `n` segments and `n - 1` associated item segments, e.g. (`a` or `a::assoc` or `a::assoc::assoc` etc) try to resolve `a` without considering primitive types first. If the "normal" lookup fails or results in a module, then try to resolve `a` as a primitive type as a fallback.
This way backward compatibility is respected, but the restriction from E0317 can be lifted, i.e. primitive names mostly can be shadowed like any other names.
Furthermore, if names of primitive types are [put into prelude](https://github.com/petrochenkov/rust/tree/prim2) (now it's possible to do), then most of names will be resolved in conventional way and amount of code relying on this fallback will be greatly reduced. Although, it's not entirely convenient to put them into prelude right now due to temporary conflicts like `use prelude::v1::*; use usize;` in libcore/libstd, I'd better wait for proper glob shadowing before doing it.
I wish the `no_prelude` attribute were unstable as intended :(

Disallow methods from traits that are not in scope
This PR only allows a trait method to be used if the trait is in scope (fixes#31379).
This is a [breaking-change]. For example, the following would break:
```rust
mod foo {
pub trait T { fn f(&self) {} }
impl T for () {}
}
mod bar { pub use foo::T; }
fn main() {
pub use bar::*;
struct T; // This shadows the trait `T`,
().f() // making this an error.
}
```

Alter E0412 help message wording
The initial wording does not make sense due to an extra 'to'.
There are two potential candidates we can change this to:
- 'you can import it into scope'
- 'to import it into scope'
In keeping the changes minimal, we choose the first, as this is more in line with the grammar of the extended candidates help message.
The older code would sometimes swallow errors or fail to produce a
suggestion. The newer code does not. However, just printing everything
would produce a bunch of new and kind of annoying errors, so continue
to swallow `T: 'a` errors so long as there are other things to show.
