Part of #24407.
Currently the diagnostics for range patterns are a bit wrong:
```rust
fn main() {
match 5u32 {
0 ... 10 => (),
'a' ... 10 => (),
10 ... 'z' => (),
"what" ... 10 => (),
"what" ... "well" => (),
10 ... "what" => ()
}
}
```
```

```
The problems here are:
1. The type of the end of the range is used to predict the type of the start (only mildly counter intuitive).
2. E0029 is erroneously generated for `char ... num` and `num ... char`.
2. `u32` is mentioned.
3. Errors which are essentially the same are reported multiple times.
I've attempted to fix this by checking the requirements in a different order. The output I've achieved for the above example is:

I think this is already tonnes better, but the `Start type/End type` stuff could be neater. I don't think there's really any need to start a `note:` block but I wanted to get some feedback on this. I'd also appreciate advice on how to print the integer types as something other than `_`.
