Make lint diagnostics responsible for providing their primary span
### Summary and Rustc-Dev-Facing Changes
Instead of passing the primary span of lint diagnostics separately — namely to the functions `tcx.emit_span_lint` and `tcx.emit_node_span_lint` —, make lint diagnostics responsible for “storing” (providing) their span. I've removed the two aforementioned methods. You are now expected to use `tcx.emit_lint` and `tcx.emit_node_lint` respectively and to provide the primary span when deriving `LintDiagnostic` (via `#[primary_span]`) / implementing `LintDiagnostic` manually (via `LintDiagnostic::span`).
> [!NOTE]
> FIXME(fmease): Mention how early lints are handled.
### Motivation
Making the general format of `#[derive(LintDiagnostic)]` identical to `#[derive(Diagnostic)]`. I bet this has lead to slight confusion or annoyances before. Moreover, it enables deriving both traits at once (see rust-lang#125169 for the motivation).
### Approach
As outlined in rust-lang#125169 (comment), the naïve approach of doing the same as `Diagnostic` doesn't work for `LintDiagnostic`, i.e., setting the primary span with `Diag::span` inside `decorate_lint` (that's `into_diag` for `Diagnostic`) because `lint_level` (`lint_level_impl`) needs access to the primary spans before decorating the `Diag` to be able to filter out some lints (namely if they come from an external macro) etc.
Therefore, I had to introduce a new method to `LintDiagnostic`: `fn span(&self) -> Option<MultiSpan>` (similar to the existing method `LintDiagnostic::msg`).
### Commits
1. The 1st commit addresses [rust-lang#125169 (comment)](rust-lang#125169 (comment)). It contains the necessary changes to the linting APIs. It doesn't build on its own due to the removed APIs. Split out for easier reviewing.
2. The 2nd commit updates all existing lint diagnostics to use the new APIs. Most of them are mindless, monotonous, obvious changes. Some changes are *slightly* more involved out of necessity. I've verified (partly programmatically, partly manually) that all lint diags that used to have a primary span still have a primary span.
3. The 3rd commit updates the fulldeps UI tests that exercise the (lint) diagnostic API
4. The 4th commit fixes [rust-lang#125169](rust-lang#125169). I've only deduplicated the lint diagnostic structs mentioned in the issue and haven't gone looking for other structs that may benefit from deriving both `Diagnostic` and `LintDiagnostic` because I didn't have the time to do so yet.
### Meta
Fixesrust-lang#125169.
I'll submit a rustc-dev-guide PR later.
I hope this doesn't need an MCP, it's pretty straight forward.
