Auto merge of #143548 - Diggsey:db-limit-extern-crate-usage, r=oli-obk

Restrict sysroot crate imports to those defined in this repo.

It's common to import dependencies from the sysroot via `extern crate` rather than use an explicit cargo dependency, when it's necessary to use the same dependency version as used by rustc itself. However, this is dangerous for crates.io crates, since rustc may not pull in the dependency on some targets, or may pull in multiple versions. In both cases, the `extern crate` fails to resolve.

To address this, re-export all such dependencies from the appropriate `rustc_*` crates, and use this alias from crates which would otherwise need to use `extern crate`.

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143492 for an example of the kind of issue that can occur.

rust-analyzer is a language server that provides IDE functionality for writing Rust programs. You can use it with any editor that supports the Language Server Protocol (VS Code, Vim, Emacs, Zed, etc).

rust-analyzer features include go-to-definition, find-all-references, refactorings and code completion. rust-analyzer also supports integrated formatting (with rustfmt) and integrated diagnostics (with rustc and clippy).

Internally, rust-analyzer is structured as a set of libraries for analyzing Rust code. See Architecture in the manual.
