For following:

```rust
struct A;
impl A {
    fn test4(&self) {
        let mut _file = File::create("foo.txt")?;
        //~^ ERROR the `?` operator can only be used in a method
    }
```
Suggest:

```rust
impl A {
    fn test4(&self) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
        let mut _file = File::create("foo.txt")?;
        //~^ ERROR the `?` operator can only be used in a method

    Ok(())
    }
}
```

For rust-lang#125997
... by using `std::fs::remove_dir_all`, which handles a bunch of edge
cases including read-only files and symlinks which are extremely tricky
on Windows.

Stabilize `raw_ref_op` (RFC 2582)

This stabilizes the syntax `&raw const $expr` and `&raw mut $expr`. It has existed unstably for ~4 years now, and has been exposed on stable via the `addr_of` and `addr_of_mut` macros since Rust 1.51 (released more than 3 years ago). I think it has become clear that these operations are here to stay. So it is about time we give them proper primitive syntax. This has two advantages over the macro:

- Being macros, `addr_of`/`addr_of_mut` could in theory do arbitrary magic with the expression on which they work. The only "magic" they actually do is using the argument as a place expression rather than as a value expression. Place expressions are already a subtle topic and poorly understood by many programmers; having this hidden behind a macro using unstable language features makes this even worse. Conversely, people do have an idea of what happens below `&`/`&mut`, so we can make the subtle topic a lot more approachable by connecting to existing intuition.
- The name `addr_of` is quite unfortunate from today's perspective, given that we have accepted provenance as a reality, which means that a pointer is *not* just an address. Strict provenance has a method, `addr`, which extracts the address of a pointer; using the term `addr` in two different ways is quite unfortunate. That's why this PR soft-deprecates `addr_of` -- we will wait a long time before actually showing any warning here, but we should start telling people that the "addr" part of this name is somewhat misleading, and `&raw` avoids that potential confusion.

In summary, this syntax improves developers' ability to conceptualize the operational semantics of Rust, while making a fundamental operation frequently used in unsafe code feel properly built in.

Possible questions to consider, based on the RFC and [this](rust-lang#64490 (comment)) great summary by `@CAD97:`

- Some questions are entirely about the semantics. The semantics are the same as with the macros so I don't think this should have any impact on this syntax PR. Still, for completeness' sake:
  - Should `&raw const *mut_ref` give a read-only pointer?
    - Tracked at: rust-lang/unsafe-code-guidelines#257
    - I think ideally the answer is "no". Stacked Borrows says that pointer is read-only, but Tree Borrows says it is mutable.
  - What exactly does `&raw const (*ptr).field` require? Answered in [the reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/reference/behavior-considered-undefined.html): the arithmetic to compute the field offset follows the rules of `ptr::offset`, making it UB if it goes out-of-bounds. Making this a safe operation (using `wrapping_offset` rules) is considered too much of a loss for alias analysis.
- Choose a different syntax? I don't want to re-litigate the RFC. The only credible alternative that has been proposed is `&raw $place` instead of `&raw const $place`, which (IIUC) could be achieved by making `raw` a contextual keyword in a new edition. The type is named `*const T`, so the explicit `const` is consistent in that regard. `&raw expr` lacks the explicit indication of immutability. However, `&raw const expr` is quite a but longer than `addr_of!(expr)`.
- Shouldn't we have a completely new, better raw pointer type instead? Yes we all want to see that happen -- but I don't think we should block stabilization on that, given that such a nicer type is not on the horizon currently and given the issues with `addr_of!` mentioned above. (If we keep the `&raw $place` syntax free for this, we could use it in the future for that new type.)
- What about the lint the RFC talked about? It hasn't been implemented yet.  Given that the problematic code is UB with or without this stabilization, I don't think the lack of the lint should block stabilization.
  - I created an issue to track adding it: rust-lang#127724
- Other points from the "future possibilites of the RFC
  - "Syntactic sugar" extension: this has not been implemented. I'd argue this is too confusing, we should stick to what the RFC suggested and if we want to do anything about such expressions, add the lint.
  - Encouraging / requiring `&raw` in situations where references are often/definitely incorrect: this has been / is being implemented. On packed fields this already is a hard error, and for `static mut` a lint suggesting raw pointers is being rolled out.
  - Lowering of casts: this has been implemented. (It's also an invisible implementation detail.)
  - `offsetof` woes: we now have native `offset_of` so this is not relevant any more.

To be done before landing:

- [x] Suppress `unused_parens` lint around `&raw {const|mut}` expressions
  - See bottom of rust-lang#127679 (comment) for rationale
  - Implementation: rust-lang#128782
- [ ] Update the Reference.
  - rust-lang/reference#1567

Fixes rust-lang#64490

Suggest adding Result return type for associated method in E0277.

Recommit rust-lang#126515 because I messed up during rebase,

Suggest adding Result return type for associated method in E0277.

For following:

```rust
struct A;
impl A {
    fn test4(&self) {
        let mut _file = File::create("foo.txt")?;
        //~^ ERROR the `?` operator can only be used in a method
    }
```

Suggest:

```rust
impl A {
    fn test4(&self) -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
        let mut _file = File::create("foo.txt")?;
        //~^ ERROR the `?` operator can only be used in a method

    Ok(())
    }
}
```

bootstrap: fix clean's remove_dir_all implementation

It turns out bootstrap's `clean.rs`'s hand-rolled `rm_rf` (which probably comes before `std::fs::remove_dir_all` was stable) is very broken on native Windows around both read-only files/directories and especially symbolic links. So instead of rolling our own, just use `std::fs::remove_dir_all`.

This is a blocker for compiletest's own `rm_rf` implementation rust-lang#129155 which happens to be also buggy, which in turn is a blocker for the rmake.rs test port rust-lang#128562 that heavily exercises symlinks (I was reviewing rust-lang#128562 and testing it on native Windows which is how I found out).

I also left a FIXME for `detect_src_and_out` due to a failing assertion on native Windows (opened rust-lang#129188):

```
---- core::config::tests::detect_src_and_out stdout ----
thread 'core::config::tests::detect_src_and_out' panicked at src\core\config\tests.rs:72:13:
assertion `left == right` failed
  left: "E:\\tmp"
 right: "C:\\tmp"
```

Fixes rust-lang#112544 (because now we handle Windows symlinks properly).
