Stabilize associated type bounds (RFC 2289)
This PR stabilizes associated type bounds, which were laid out in [RFC 2289]. This gives us a shorthand to express nested type bounds that would otherwise need to be expressed with nested `impl Trait` or broken into several `where` clauses.
### What are we stabilizing?
We're stabilizing the associated item bounds syntax, which allows us to put bounds in associated type position within other bounds, i.e. `T: Trait<Assoc: Bounds...>`. See [RFC 2289] for motivation.
In all position, the associated type bound syntax expands into a set of two (or more) bounds, and never anything else (see "How does this differ[...]" section for more info).
Associated type bounds are stabilized in four positions:
* **`where` clauses (and APIT)** - This is equivalent to breaking up the bound into two (or more) `where` clauses. For example, `where T: Trait<Assoc: Bound>` is equivalent to `where T: Trait, <T as Trait>::Assoc: Bound`.
* **Supertraits** - Similar to above, `trait CopyIterator: Iterator<Item: Copy> {}`. This is almost equivalent to breaking up the bound into two (or more) `where` clauses; however, the bound on the associated item is implied whenever the trait is used. See #112573/#112629.
* **Associated type item bounds** - This allows constraining the *nested* rigid projections that are associated with a trait's associated types. e.g. `trait Trait { type Assoc: Trait2<Assoc2: Copy>; }`.
* **opaque item bounds (RPIT, TAIT)** - This allows constraining associated types that are associated with the opaque without having to *name* the opaque. For example, `impl Iterator<Item: Copy>` defines an iterator whose item is `Copy` without having to actually name that item bound.
The latter three are not expressible in surface Rust (though for associated type item bounds, this will change in #120752, which I don't believe should block this PR), so this does represent a slight expansion of what can be expressed in trait bounds.
### How does this differ from the RFC?
Compared to the RFC, the current implementation *always* desugars associated type bounds to sets of `ty::Clause`s internally. Specifically, it does *not* introduce a position-dependent desugaring as laid out in [RFC 2289], and in particular:
* It does *not* desugar to anonymous associated items in associated type item bounds.
* It does *not* desugar to nested RPITs in RPIT bounds, nor nested TAITs in TAIT bounds.
This position-dependent desugaring laid out in the RFC existed simply to side-step limitations of the trait solver, which have mostly been fixed in #120584. The desugaring laid out in the RFC also added unnecessary complication to the design of the feature, and introduces its own limitations to, for example:
* Conditionally lowering to nested `impl Trait` in certain positions such as RPIT and TAIT means that we inherit the limitations of RPIT/TAIT, namely lack of support for higher-ranked opaque inference. See this code example: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120752#issuecomment-1979412531.
* Introducing anonymous associated types makes traits no longer object safe, since anonymous associated types are not nameable, and all associated types must be named in `dyn` types.
This last point motivates why this PR is *not* stabilizing support for associated type bounds in `dyn` types, e.g, `dyn Assoc<Item: Bound>`. Why? Because `dyn` types need to have *concrete* types for all associated items, this would necessitate a distinct lowering for associated type bounds, which seems both complicated and unnecessary compared to just requiring the user to write `impl Trait` themselves. See #120719.

remove StructuralEq trait
The documentation given for the trait is outdated: *all* function pointers implement `PartialEq` and `Eq` these days. So the `StructuralEq` trait doesn't really seem to have any reason to exist any more.
One side-effect of this PR is that we allow matching on some consts that do not implement `Eq`. However, we already allowed matching on floats and consts containing floats, so this is not new, it is just allowed in more cases now. IMO it makes no sense at all to allow float matching but also sometimes require an `Eq` instance. If we want to require `Eq` we should adjust https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/115893 to check for `Eq`, and rule out float matching for good.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/115881
Suggest Upgrading Compiler for Gated Features
This PR addresses #117318
I have a few questions:
1. Do we want to specify the current version and release date of the compiler? I have added this in via environment variables, which I found in the code for the rustc cli where it handles the `--version` flag
a. How can I handle the changing message in the tests?
3. Do we want to only show this message when the compiler is old?
a. How can we determine when the compiler is old?
I'll wait until we figure out the message to bless the tests
Avoid silencing relevant follow-up errors
r? `@matthewjasper`
This PR only adds new errors to tests that are already failing and fixes one ICE.
Several tests were changed to not emit new errors. I believe all of them were faulty tests, and not explicitly testing for the code that had new errors.
Don't synthesize host effect args inside trait object types
While we were indeed emitting an error for `~const` & `const` trait bounds in trait object types, we were still synthesizing host effect args for them.
Since we don't record the original trait bound modifiers for dyn-Trait in `hir::TyKind::TraitObject` (unlike we do for let's say impl-Trait, `hir::TyKind::OpaqueTy`), AstConv just assumes `ty::BoundConstness::NotConst` in `conv_object_ty_poly_trait_ref` which given `<host> dyn ~const NonConstTrait` resulted in us not realizing that `~const` was used on a non-const trait which lead to a failed assertion in the end.
Instead of updating `hir::TyKind::TraitObject` to track this kind of information, just strip the user-provided constness (similar to #119505).
Fixes#119524.
Clean up `check_consts` and misc fixes
1. Remove most of the logic around erroring with trait methods. I have kept the part resolving it to a concrete impl, as that is used for const stability checks.
2. Turning on `effects` causes ICE with generic args, due to `~const Tr` when `Tr` is not `#[const_trait]` tripping up expectation in code that handles generic args, more specifically here:
8681e077b8/compiler/rustc_hir_analysis/src/astconv/generics.rs (L377)
We set `arg_count.correct` to `Err` to correctly signal that an error has already been reported.
3. UI test blesses.
Edit(fmease): Fixes#117244 (UI test is in #119099 for now).
r? compiler-errors
Remove `#[rustc_host]`, use internal desugaring
Also removed a way for users to explicitly specify the host param since that isn't particularly useful. This should eliminate any pain with encoding attributes across crates and etc.
