valtree performance tuning

[lukas-code]

Summary: This PR makes type checking of code with many type-level constants faster.

After #136180 was merged, we observed a small perf regression (#136318 (comment)). This happened because that PR introduced additional copies in the fast reject code path for consts, which is very hot for certain crates:

rust/compiler/rustc_type_ir/src/fast_reject.rs

Lines 486 to 487 in 6c1d960

	ty::ConstKind::Value(lhs_val) => match rhs.kind() {
	ty::ConstKind::Value(rhs_val) => lhs_val.valtree() == rhs_val.valtree(),

This PR improves the performance again by properly interning the valtrees so that copying and comparing them becomes faster. This will become especially useful with feature(adt_const_params), so the fast reject code doesn't have to do a deep compare of the valtrees.

Note that we can't just compare the interned consts themselves in the fast reject, because sometimes 'static lifetimes in the type are be replaced with inference variables (due to canonicalization) on one side but not the other.

A less invasive alternative that I considered is simply avoiding copies introduced by #136180 and comparing the valtrees it in-place (see commit: 9e91e50 / perf results: #136593 (comment)), however that was still measurably slower than interning.

There are some minor regressions in secondary benchmarks: These happen due to changes in memory allocations and seem acceptable to me. The crates that make heavy use of valtrees show no significant changes in memory usage.
