Make casts of pointers to trait objects stricter
This is an attempt to `fix` rust-lang/rust#120222 and rust-lang/rust#120217.
This is done by adding restrictions on casting pointers to trait objects.
Before this PR the rules were as follows:
> When casting `*const X<dyn A>` -> `*const Y<dyn B>`, principal traits in `A` and `B` must refer to the same trait definition (or no trait).
With this PR the rules are changed to
> When casting `*const X<dyn Src>` -> `*const Y<dyn Dst>`
> - if `Dst` has a principal trait `DstP`,
> - `Src` must have a principal trait `SrcP`
> - `dyn SrcP` and `dyn DstP` must be the same type (modulo the trait object lifetime, `dyn T+'a` -> `dyn T+'b` is allowed)
> - Auto traits in `Dst` must be a subset of auto traits in `Src`
> - Not adhering to this is currently a FCW (warn-by-default + `FutureReleaseErrorReportInDeps`), instead of an error
> - if `Src` has a principal trait `Dst` must as well
> - this restriction will be removed in a follow up PR
This ensures that
1. Principal trait's generic arguments match (no `*const dyn Tr<A>` -> `*const dyn Tr<B>` casts, which are a problem for [#120222](rust-lang/rust#120222))
2. Principal trait's lifetime arguments match (no `*const dyn Tr<'a>` -> `*const dyn Tr<'b>` casts, which are a problem for [#120217](rust-lang/rust#120217))
3. No auto traits can be _added_ (this is a problem for arbitrary self types, see [this comment](rust-lang/rust#120248 (comment)))
Some notes:
- We only care about the metadata/last field, so you can still cast `*const dyn T` to `*const WithHeader<dyn T>`, etc
- The lifetime of the trait object itself (`dyn A + 'lt`) is not checked, so you can still cast `*mut FnOnce() + '_` to `*mut FnOnce() + 'static`, etc
- This feels fishy, but I couldn't come up with a reason it must be checked
The diagnostics are currently not great, to say the least, but as far as I can tell this correctly fixes the issues.
