Currently it's used for two dynamic checks:
- When a diagnostic is emitted, has it been emitted before?
- When a diagnostic is dropped, has it been emitted/cancelled?
The first check is no longer need, because `emit` is consuming, so it's
impossible to emit a `DiagnosticBuilder` twice. The second check is
still needed.
This commit replaces `DiagnosticBuilderState` with a simpler
`Option<Box<Diagnostic>>`, which is enough for the second check:
functions like `emit` and `cancel` can take the `Diagnostic` and then
`drop` can check that the `Diagnostic` was taken.
The `DiagCtxt` reference from `DiagnosticBuilderState` is now stored as
its own field, removing the need for the `dcx` method.
As well as making the code shorter and simpler, the commit removes:
- One (deprecated) `ErrorGuaranteed::unchecked_claim_error_was_emitted`
call.
- Two `FIXME(eddyb)` comments that are no longer relevant.
- The use of a dummy `Diagnostic` in `into_diagnostic`.
Nice!
