`span_suggestions` is to provide mutually exclusive suggestions. When it was introduced, we made its behavior be that if a single suggestion is given to it, we present the suggestion inline, otherwise in patch format. Changing this to make all of its uses be verbose, as that is closer in intent of output.
Tracking the old name of renamed unstable library features
This PR resolves the first problem of rust-lang/rust#141617 : tracking renamed unstable features. The first commit is to add a ui test, and the second one tracks the changes. I will comment on the code for clarification.

There have been a lot of PR's reviewed by you lately, thanks for your time!

remove intrinsics::drop_in_place
This was only ever accidentally stable, and has been marked as deprecated since Rust 1.52, released almost 4 years ago. We've removed the old serialization `derive`s, maybe we can remove this one as well?
As suggested by ``@jhpratt,`` let's see what crater says for this one.
```
error[E0610]: `{integer}` is a primitive type and therefore doesn't have fields
--> $DIR/attempted-access-non-fatal.rs:7:15
|
LL | let _ = 2.l;
| ^
|
help: if intended to be a floating point literal, consider adding a `0` after the period and a `f64` suffix
|
LL - let _ = 2.l;
LL + let _ = 2.0f64;

```
When encountering a call corresponding to an item marked as unstable behind a feature flag, provide a structured suggestion pointing at where in the crate the `#![feature(..)]` needs to be written.
```
error: `foobar` is not yet stable as a const fn
--> $DIR/const-stability-attribute-implies-no-feature.rs:12:5

LL | foobar();
| ^^^^^^^^

help: add `#![feature(const_foobar)]` to the crate attributes to enable

LL + #![feature(const_foobar)]

Fix#81370.
deprecate `std::intrinsics::transmute` etc, use `std::mem::*` instead
The `rustc_allowed_through_unstable_modules` attribute lets users call `std::mem::transmute` as `std::intrinsics::transmute`. The former is a reexport of the latter, and for a long time we didn't properly check stability for reexports, so making this a hard error now would be a breaking change for little gain. But at the same time, `std::intrinsics::transmute` is not the intended path for this function, so I think it is a good idea to show a deprecation warning when that path is used. This PR implements that, for all the functions in `std::intrinsics` that carry the attribute.
I assume this will need ``@rust-lang/libs-api`` FCP.
Consider comments and bare delimiters the same as an "empty line" for purposes of hiding rendered code output of long multispans. This results in more aggressive shortening of rendered output without losing too much context, specially in `*.stderr` tests that have "hidden" comments.
Use backticks instead of single quotes for library feature names in diagnostics
This PR changes the text of library feature errors for using unstable or body-unstable items. Displaying library feature names in backticks is consistent with other diagnostics (e.g. those from `rustc_passes`) and with the `reason`s on unstable attributes in the library. Additionally, this simplifies diagnostics when supporting multiple unstable attributes on items (see #131824) since `DiagSymbolList` also displays symbols using backticks.
This is consistent with all other diagnostics I could find containing
features and enables the use of `DiagSymbolList` for generalizing
diagnostics for unstable library features to multiple features.
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
