Temporary lifetime extension through tuple struct and tuple variant constructors
This makes temporary lifetime extension work for tuple struct and tuple variant constructors, such as `Some()`.
Before:
```rust
let a = &temp(); // Extended
let a = Some(&temp()); // Not extended :(
let a = Some { 0: &temp() }; // Extended
```
After:
```rust
let a = &temp(); // Extended
let a = Some(&temp()); // Extended
let a = Some { 0: &temp() }; // Extended
```
So, with this change, this works:
```rust
let a = Some(&String::from("hello")); // New: String lifetime now extended!
println!("{a:?}");
```
Until now, we did not extend through tuple struct/variant constructors (like `Some`), because they are function calls syntactically, and we do not want to extend the String lifetime in:
```rust
let a = some_function(&String::from("hello")); // String not extended!
```
However, it turns out to be very easy to distinguish between regular functions and constructors at the point where we do lifetime extension.
In practice, constructors nearly always use UpperCamelCase while regular functions use lower_snake_case, so it should still be easy to for a human programmer at the call site to see whether something qualifies for lifetime extension or not.
This needs a lang fcp.

More examples of what will work after this change:
```rust
let x = Person {
name: "Ferris",
job: Some(&Job { // `Job` now extended!
title: "Chief Rustacean",
organisation: "Acme Ltd.",
}),
};
dbg!(x);
```
```rust
let file = if use_stdout {
None
} else {
Some(&File::create("asdf")?) // `File` now extended!
};
set_logger(file);
```
```rust
use std::path::Component;
let c = Component::Normal(&OsString::from(format!("test-{num}"))); // OsString now extended!
assert_eq!(path.components.first().unwrap(), c);
```

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
