Represent type-level consts with new-and-improved `hir::ConstArg`
### Summary
This is a step toward `min_generic_const_exprs`. We now represent all const
generic arguments using an enum that differentiates between const *paths*
(temporarily just bare const params) and arbitrary anon consts that may perform
computations. This will enable us to cleanly implement the `min_generic_const_args`
plan of allowing the use of generics in paths used as const args, while
disallowing their use in arbitrary anon consts. Here is a summary of the salient
aspects of this change:
- Add `current_def_id_parent` to `LoweringContext`
This is needed to track anon const parents properly once we implement
`ConstArgKind::Path` (which requires moving anon const def-creation
outside of `DefCollector`).
- Create `hir::ConstArgKind` enum with `Path` and `Anon` variants. Use it in the
existing `hir::ConstArg` struct, replacing the previous `hir::AnonConst` field.
- Use `ConstArg` for all instances of const args. Specifically, use it instead
of `AnonConst` for assoc item constraints, array lengths, and const param
defaults.
- Some `ast::AnonConst`s now have their `DefId`s created in
rustc_ast_lowering rather than `DefCollector`. This is because in some
cases they will end up becoming a `ConstArgKind::Path` instead, which
has no `DefId`. We have to solve this in a hacky way where we guess
whether the `AnonConst` could end up as a path const since we can't
know for sure until after name resolution (`N` could refer to a free
const or a nullary struct). If it has no chance as being a const
param, then we create a `DefId` in `DefCollector` -- otherwise we
decide during ast_lowering. This will have to be updated once all path
consts use `ConstArgKind::Path`.
- We explicitly use `ConstArgHasType` for array lengths, rather than
implicitly relying on anon const type feeding -- this is due to the
addition of `ConstArgKind::Path`.
- Some tests have their outputs changed, but the changes are for the
most part minor (including removing duplicate or almost-duplicate
errors). One test now ICEs, but it is for an incomplete, unstable
feature and is now tracked at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/127009.
### Followup items post-merge
- Use `ConstArgKind::Path` for all const paths, not just const params.
- Fix (no github dont close this issue) #127009
- If a path in generic args doesn't resolve as a type, try to resolve as a const
instead (do this in rustc_resolve). Then remove the special-casing from
`rustc_ast_lowering`, so that all params will automatically be lowered as
`ConstArgKind::Path`.
- (?) Consider making `const_evaluatable_unchecked` a hard error, or at least
trying it in crater
r? `@BoxyUwU`
This is serves as a collection of crashes so that accidental ICE fixes are tracked.
This was formally done at https://github.com/rust-lang/glacier but doing it inside
the rustc testsuite is more convenient.
It is imperative that a test in the suite causes an internal compiler error/panic
or makes rustc crash in some other way.
A test will "pass" if rustc exits with something other than 1 or 0.
When adding crashes from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues, the
issue number should be noted in the file name (12345.rs should suffice)
and perhaps also inside the file via //@ known-bug #4321
If you happen to fix one of the crashes, please move it to a fitting
subdirectory in tests/ui and give it a meaningful name.
Also please add a doc comment at the top of the file explaining why
this test exists. :)
Adding

to the description of your pull request will ensure the
corresponding tickets will be closed automatically upon merge.
The ticket ids can be found in the file name or the known-bug annotation
inside the testfile.
