- don't return the receiver type from method resolution; instead just
return the autorefs/autoderefs that happened and repeat them. This
ensures all the effects like trait obligations and whatever we learned
about type variables from derefing them are actually applied. Also, it
allows us to get rid of `decanonicalize_ty`, which was just wrong in
principle.
- Autoderef itself now directly works with an inference table. Sadly
this has the effect of making it harder to use as an iterator, often
requiring manual `while let` loops. (rustc works around this by using
inner mutability in the inference context, so that things like unifying
types don't require a unique reference.)
- We now record the adjustments (autoref/deref) for method receivers
and index expressions, which we didn't before.
- Removed the redundant crate parameter from method resolution, since
the trait_env contains the crate as well.
- in the HIR API, the methods now take a scope to determine the trait env.
`Type` carries a trait env, but I think that's probably a bad decision
because it's easy to create it with the wrong env, e.g. by using
`Adt::ty`. This mostly didn't matter so far because
`iterate_method_candidates` took a crate parameter and ignored
`self.krate`, but the trait env would still have been wrong in those
cases, which I think would give some wrong results in some edge cases.
Fixes#10058.
9260: tree-wide: make rustdoc links spiky so they are clickable r=matklad a=lf-
Rustdoc was complaining about these while I was running with --document-private-items and I figure they should be fixed.

The idea here is to eventually get rid of `dyn Diagnostic` and
`DiagnosticSink` infrastructure altogether, and just have a `enum
hir::Diagnostic` instead.
The problem with `dyn Diagnostic` is that it is defined in the lowest
level of the stack (hir_expand), but is used by the highest level (ide).
As a first step, we free hir_expand and hir_def from `dyn Diagnostic`
and kick the can up to `hir_ty`, as an intermediate state. The plan is
then to move DiagnosticSink similarly to the hir crate, and, as final
third step, remove its usage from the ide.
One currently unsolved problem is testing. You can notice that the test
which checks precise diagnostic ranges, unresolved_import_in_use_tree,
was moved to the ide layer. Logically, only IDE should have the infra to
render a specific range.
At the same time, the range is determined with the data produced in
hir_def and hir crates, so this layering is rather unfortunate. Working
on hir_def shouldn't require compiling `ide` for testing.
