Some `tests/ui/` housekeeping, to trim down number of tests directly under `tests/ui/`. Part of rust-lang/rust#133895.

Rewrite `macro_rules!` parser to not use the MBE engine itself
The `macro_rules!` parser was written to match the series of rules using the macros-by-example (MBE) engine and a hand-written equivalent of the left-hand side of a MBE macro. This was complex to read, difficult to extend, and produced confusing error messages. Because it was using the MBE engine, any parse failure would be reported as if some macro was being applied to the `macro_rules!` invocation itself; for instance, errors would talk about "macro invocation", "macro arguments", and "macro call", when they were actually about the macro *definition*.
And in practice, the `macro_rules!` parser only used the MBE engine to extract the left-hand side and right-hand side of each rule as a token tree, and then parsed the rest using a separate parser.
Rewrite it to parse the series of rules using a simple loop, instead. This makes it more extensible in the future, and improves error messages. For instance, omitting a semicolon between rules will result in "expected `;`" and "unexpected token", rather than the confusing "no rules expected this token in macro call".
This work was greatly aided by pair programming with Vincenzo Palazzo (`@vincenzopalazzo)` and Eric Holk (`@eholk).`
For review, I recommend reading the two commits separately.

As a performance optimization, skip elaborating the supertraits of
`Sized`, and if a `MetaSized` obligation is being checked, then look for
a `Sized` predicate in the parameter environment. This makes the
`ParamEnv` smaller which should improve compiler performance as it avoids
all the iteration over the larger `ParamEnv`.
These tests just need blessing, they don't have any interesting behaviour
changes.
Some of these tests have new errors because `LegacyReceiver` cannot be
proven to be implemented now that it is also testing for `MetaSized` -
but this is just a consequence of the other errors in the test.
Expand the automatic implementation of `MetaSized` and `PointeeSized` so
that it is also implemented on non-`Sized` types, just not `ty::Foreign`
(extern type).
Introduce the `MetaSized` and `PointeeSized` traits as supertraits of
`Sized` and initially implement it on everything that currently
implements `Sized` to isolate any changes that simply adding the
traits introduces.

Method errors have an extra check that force trim paths whenever the
normal string is longer than 10 characters, which can be quite unhelpful
when multiple items have the same name (for example an `Error`).
A user reported this force trimming as being quite unhelpful when they
had a method error where the precise path of the `Error` mattered.
The code uses `tcx.short_string` already to get the normal path, which
tries to be clever around trimming paths if necessary, so there is no
reason for this extra force trimming.
