mgca: Add ConstArg representation for const items
tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#132980
fixes rust-lang/rust#131046
fixes rust-lang/rust#134641
As part of implementing `min_generic_const_args`, we need to distinguish const items that can be used in the type system, such as in associated const equality projections, from const items containing arbitrary const code, which must be kept out of the type system. Specifically, all "type consts" must be either concrete (no generics) or generic with a trivial expression like `N` or a path to another type const item.
To syntactically distinguish these cases, we require, for now at least, that users annotate all type consts with the `#[type_const]` attribute. Then, we validate that the const's right-hand side is indeed eligible to be a type const and represent it differently in the HIR.
We accomplish this representation using a new `ConstItemRhs` enum in the HIR, and a similar but simpler enum in the AST. When `#[type_const]` is **not** applied to a const (e.g. on stable), we represent const item right-hand sides (rhs's) as HIR bodies, like before. However, when the attribute is applied, we instead lower to a `hir::ConstArg`. This syntactically distinguishes between trivial const args (paths) and arbitrary expressions, which are represented using `AnonConst`s. Then in `generics_of`, we can take advantage of the existing machinery to bar the `AnonConst` rhs's from using parent generics.File tree
