Add unpolished, experimental support for AFIDT (async fn in dyn trait)
This allows us to begin messing around `async fn` in `dyn Trait`. Calling an async fn from a trait object always returns a `dyn* Future<Output = ...>`.
To make it work, Implementations are currently required to return something that can be coerced to a `dyn* Future` (see the example in `tests/ui/async-await/dyn/works.rs`). If it's not the right size, then it'll raise an error at the coercion site (see the example in `tests/ui/async-await/dyn/wrong-size.rs`). Currently the only practical way of doing this is wrapping the body in `Box::pin(async move { .. })`.
This PR does not implement a helper type like a "`Boxing`"[^boxing] adapter, and I'll probably follow-up with another PR to improve the error message for the `PointerLike` trait (something that explains in just normal prose what is happening here, rather than a trait error).
[^boxing]: https://rust-lang.github.io/async-fundamentals-initiative/explainer/user_guide_future.html#the-boxing-adapter
This PR also does not implement new trait solver support for AFIDT; I'll need to think how best to integrate it into candidate assembly, and that's a bit of a matter of taste, but I don't think it will be difficult to do.
This could also be generalized:
* To work on functions that are `-> impl Future` (soon).
* To work on functions that are `-> impl Iterator` and other "dyn rpitit safe" traits. We still need to nail down exactly what is needed for this to be okay (not soon).

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).
