Remove `usable_size` APIs
This removes the usable size APIs:
- remove `usable_size` (obv)
- change return type of allocating methods to include the allocated size
- remove `_excess` API

Address inconsistency in using "is" with "declared here"
"is" was generally used for NLL diagnostics, but not other diagnostics. Using "is" makes the diagnostics sound more natural and readable, so it seems sensible to commit to them throughout.

This doesn't mention that using an existing lifetime is possible, but
that would hopefully be clear as always being an option. The intention
of this is to teach newcomers what the lifetime syntax is.
In most places, we use a span when emitting `expected...found` errors.
However, there were a couple of places where we didn't use any span,
resulting in hard-to-interpret error messages.
This commit attaches the relevant span to these notes, and additionally
switches over to using `note_expected_found` instead of manually
formatting the message
* `Place` is no longer recursive.
* The `cmt` type alias is removed
* `Upvar` places no longer include the dereferences of the environment
closure or of by reference captures.
* All non-dereference projections are combined to a single variant.
* Various unnecessary types and methods have been removed.
Add outlives suggestions for some lifetime errors
This PR implements suggestion diagnostics for some lifetime mismatch errors. When the borrow checker finds that some lifetime 'a doesn't outlive some other lifetime 'b that it should outlive, then in addition to the current lifetime error, we also emit a suggestion for how to fix the problem by adding a bound:
- If a and b are normal named regions, suggest to add the bound `'a: 'b`
- If b is static, suggest to replace a with static
- If b also needs to outlive a, they must be the same, so suggest unifying them
We start with a simpler implementation that avoids diagnostic regression or implementation complexity:
- We only makes suggestions for lifetimes the user can already name (eg not closure regions or elided regions)
- For now, we only emit a help note, not an actually suggestion because it is significantly easier.
Finally, there is one hack: it seems that implicit regions in async fn are given the name '_ incorrectly. To avoid suggesting '_: 'x, we simply filter out such lifetimes by name.
For more info, see this internals thread:
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/mechanical-suggestions-for-some-borrow-checker-errors/9049/3
TL;DR Make suggestions to add a `where 'a: 'b` constraint for some lifetime errors. Details are in the paper linked from the internals thread above.

TODO
- [x] Clean up code
- [x] Only make idiomatic suggestions
- [x] don't suggest naming `&'a self`
- [x] rather than `'a: 'static`, suggest replacing `'a` with `'static`
- [x] rather than `'a: 'b, 'b: 'a`, suggest replacing `'a` with `'b` or vice versa
- [x] Performance (maybe need a perf run when this is closer to the finish line?)
- perf run was clean...
- EDIT: perf run seems to only check non-error performance... How do we check that error performance didn't regress?
- [x] Needs ui tests
- [x] Integrate the `help` message into the main lifetime `error`
Those annotation are silently ignored rather than begin validated
against compiler output. Update them before validation is enabled,
to avoid test failures.
