If we have a cause containing `ValuePairs::PolyTraitRefs` but neither
TraitRef has any escaping bound regions then we report the same error as
for `ValuePairs::TraitRefs`.
If a symbol name can only be imported from one place for a type, and
as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we
can trim its printed path and print only the name.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example,
shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other
`Vec` importable anywhere.
This adds a new '-Z trim-diagnostic-paths=false' option to control this
feature.
On the good path, with no diagnosis printed, we should try to avoid
issuing this query, so we need to prevent trimmed_def_paths query on
several cases.
This change also relies on a previous commit that differentiates
between `Debug` and `Display` on various rustc types, where the latter
is trimmed and presented to the user and the former is not.
Fixes#67765
When reporting errors during MIR region inference, we sometimes use
`universal_upper_bound` to obtain a named universal region that we
can display to the user. However, this is not always possible - in a
case like `fn foo<'a, 'b>() { .. }`, the only upper bound for a region
containing `'a` and `'b` is `'static`. When displaying diagnostics, it's
usually better to display *some* named region (even if there are
multiple involved) rather than fall back to a generic error involving
`'static`.
This commit adds a new `approx_universal_upper_bound` method, which
uses the lowest-numbered universal region if the only alternative is to
return `'static`.

Add outlives suggestions for some lifetime errors
This PR implements suggestion diagnostics for some lifetime mismatch errors. When the borrow checker finds that some lifetime 'a doesn't outlive some other lifetime 'b that it should outlive, then in addition to the current lifetime error, we also emit a suggestion for how to fix the problem by adding a bound:
- If a and b are normal named regions, suggest to add the bound `'a: 'b`
- If b is static, suggest to replace a with static
- If b also needs to outlive a, they must be the same, so suggest unifying them
We start with a simpler implementation that avoids diagnostic regression or implementation complexity:
- We only makes suggestions for lifetimes the user can already name (eg not closure regions or elided regions)
- For now, we only emit a help note, not an actually suggestion because it is significantly easier.
Finally, there is one hack: it seems that implicit regions in async fn are given the name '_ incorrectly. To avoid suggesting '_: 'x, we simply filter out such lifetimes by name.
For more info, see this internals thread:
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/mechanical-suggestions-for-some-borrow-checker-errors/9049/3
TL;DR Make suggestions to add a `where 'a: 'b` constraint for some lifetime errors. Details are in the paper linked from the internals thread above.

TODO
- [x] Clean up code
- [x] Only make idiomatic suggestions
- [x] don't suggest naming `&'a self`
- [x] rather than `'a: 'static`, suggest replacing `'a` with `'static`
- [x] rather than `'a: 'b, 'b: 'a`, suggest replacing `'a` with `'b` or vice versa
- [x] Performance (maybe need a perf run when this is closer to the finish line?)
- perf run was clean...
- EDIT: perf run seems to only check non-error performance... How do we check that error performance didn't regress?
- [x] Needs ui tests
- [x] Integrate the `help` message into the main lifetime `error`
