Auto merge of #122553 - lukas-code:sized-thin, r=<try>
make `Thin` a supertrait of `Sized` This is a follow-up to #120354 to address #120354 (comment) and remove the "fallback impl" hack from `<T as Pointee>::Metadata` normalization in both trait solvers. We make `Thin` and therefore `Pointee<Metadata = ()>` a supertrait of `Sized`, such that every (implicit or explicit) `T: Sized` bound now also requires `T: Thin` and `<T as Pointee>::Metadata == ()`. These new bounds will be used when normalizing `<T as Pointee>::Metadata` instead of a hacky builtin impl that only applies for type parameters and aliases and overlaps with other builtin impls. Note that [RFC 2580](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2580-ptr-meta.html), which introduced `Pointee` and `Thin`, lists these unresolved questions: > Should `Thin` be added as a supertrait of `Sized`? Or could it ever make sense to have fat pointers to statically-sized types? For now, they are answered with yes and no respectively. If we end up deciding that we do want types that are `Sized + !Thin`, then a possible alternative is to add make `Thin` a defaulted trait bound that can be relaxed with `T: ?Thin` and remove `Thin` as supertrait from `Sized` before the stabilization of `feature(ptr_metadata)`. --- The removal of the "fallback impl" also allows us to always project to the shallow struct tail in the old solver, making the implementation in the old solver almost identical to the new solver. This is required to make `<Wrapper<T> as Pointee>::Metadata` work correctly in the presence of trivial bounds, for example if we know `[T]: Thin`, then we should also know `Wrapper<T>: Thin`. Lastly, this PR implements some diagnostics changes to hide errors about `` type mismatch resolving `<T as Pointee>::Metadata == ()` `` when the actual error comes from `T: Sized`. This is a continuation of #121863. r? `@lcnr`
