Extending `#[rustc_force_inline]` to be applicable to inherent methods
`#[rustc_force_inline]` is an internal-only attribute similar to `#[inline(always)]` but which emits an error if inlining cannot occur. rustc_force_inline uses the MIR inliner to do this and has limitations on where it can be applied to ensure that an error is always emitted if inlining can't happen (e.g. it can't be applied to trait methods because calls to those can't always be resolved).
`#[rustc_force_inline]` is motivated by AArch64 pointer authentication intrinsics where it is vital for the security properties of these intrinsics that they do not exist in standalone functions that could be used as gadgets in an exploit (if they could, then you could sign whatever pointers you want, for example, which is bad, but if you force inlining, then you can't jump to a reusable function containing only these instructions).
Since its initial implementation, `#[rustc_force_inline]` could only be applied to free functions. This can be relaxed to also allow inherent methods while still preserving the desired properties. In a work-in-progress patch for manual pointer authentication intrinsics, it is useful to introduce types with inherent methods that would need to be force inlined.
