Rollup merge of rust-lang#127319 - oli-obk:fail2taint, r=compiler-errors

Remove a use of `StructuredDiag`, which is incompatible with automatic error tainting and error translations

fixes rust-lang#127219

I want to remove all of `StructuredDiag`, but it's a bit more involved as it is also used from the `ItemCtxt`, which doesn't support tainting yet.

+    .teach_help = Thin pointers are "simple" pointers: they are purely a reference to a
+        memory address.
+
+        Fat pointers are pointers referencing "Dynamically Sized Types" (also
+        called DST). DST don't have a statically known size, therefore they can
+        only exist behind some kind of pointers that contain additional
+        information. Slices and trait objects are DSTs. In the case of slices,
+        the additional information the fat pointer holds is their size.
