Rollup merge of #124893 - xldenis:public-region-apis, r=lcnr

Make a minimal amount of region APIs public

Tools like Creusot, Prusti or Gillian-Rust need to access information about the loans and regions that exist in MIR programs. While `rustc` provides information about loans, there is currently no public way to reason about the regions present in a MIR program. In particular, we to know which regions are actually equal to each other and which ones outlive each other. Currently, `rustc` provides access to `RegionInferenceContext` but the public api hides that last portion of the information.

This PR proposes to make a few apis public, allowing verifiers to reason about the lifetimes present in Rust programs:
- [eval_equal](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/nightly-rustc/rustc_borrowck/region_infer/struct.RegionInferenceContext.html#method.eval_equal)
- [eval_outlives](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/nightly-rustc/rustc_borrowck/region_infer/struct.RegionInferenceContext.html#method.eval_outlives)
- (Optional) [constraint_sccs](https://doc.rust-lang.org/beta/nightly-rustc/rustc_borrowck/region_infer/struct.RegionInferenceContext.html#method.constraint_sccs)

The first two functions would allow us to compare regions and from this we can construct the set of `RegionVid` which are actually equal to each other, and then recover the inclusions between those regions, while the second allows for more direct, but _low level_ access to that information.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
