Dedup Fluent invalid ptr errors in const eval

[workingjubilee]

I believe these forms aren't unbearable to work with, and Fluent's ability to use selectors allows us to avoid enumerating every case laboriously.

Closes #116764 if accepted.

This is an extremely conservative refactor to achieve the goal, admittedly, so perhaps @RalfJung would want further changes along these lines. In any case, this is the kind of thing that is permissible in Fluent, so we don't have to buckle under having a thousand little messages for the same thing, and this way the translator can retain the full context.

Apparently this kind of form is the kind of thing Project Fluent prefers?

There are 7 more messages that duplicate the box/ref cases:

const_eval_validation_box_to_mut = {$front_matter}: encountered a box pointing to mutable memory in a constant
const_eval_validation_box_to_static = {$front_matter}: encountered a box pointing to a static variable in a constant
const_eval_validation_box_to_uninhabited = {$front_matter}: encountered a box pointing to uninhabited type {$ty}

const_eval_validation_ref_to_mut = {$front_matter}: encountered a reference pointing to mutable memory in a constant
const_eval_validation_ref_to_static = {$front_matter}: encountered a reference pointing to a static variable in a constant
const_eval_validation_ref_to_uninhabited = {$front_matter}: encountered a reference pointing to uninhabited type {$ty}

const_eval_validation_unaligned_box = {$front_matter}: encountered an unaligned box (required {$required_bytes} byte alignment but found {$found_bytes})
const_eval_validation_unaligned_ref = {$front_matter}: encountered an unaligned reference (required {$required_bytes} byte alignment but found {$found_bytes})

const_eval_validation_null_box = {$front_matter}: encountered a null box
const_eval_validation_null_ref = {$front_matter}: encountered a null reference

const_eval_validation_invalid_box_meta = {$front_matter}: encountered invalid box metadata: total size is bigger than largest supported object
const_eval_validation_invalid_ref_meta = {$front_matter}: encountered invalid reference metadata: total size is bigger than largest supported object

const_eval_validation_invalid_box_slice_meta = {$front_matter}: encountered invalid box metadata: slice is bigger than largest supported object
const_eval_validation_invalid_ref_slice_meta = {$front_matter}: encountered invalid reference metadata: slice is bigger than largest supported object

This affects all ValidationError variants that take a PtrKind.

It could use a selector, but it's not clear defaulting between "box" and "reference" yields a correct result, and selectors require defaults.

[RalfJung]

Also we'd have to repeat the selector 7 times, no? That's still O(n*m) for what should be O(n+m)

Then we'd need to create an identifier for "reference", and another for "box", and then we pass that as a parameter to these messages
