Based on lessons learned from 2024. There's probably still more details
to say here since it was a ton of work. These are the major points that
I remember.
It was observed that some people were missing the `edition20xx` rustdoc
attribute. Although this probably won't solve that problem, I'd still
like to highlight it as something to be aware of.
support config extensions
_Copied from the `rustc-dev-guide` addition:_
>When working on different tasks, you might need to switch between different bootstrap >configurations.
>Sometimes you may want to keep an old configuration for future use. But saving raw config >values in
>random files and manually copying and pasting them can quickly become messy, especially if >you have a
>long history of different configurations.
>
>To simplify managing multiple configurations, you can create config extensions.
>
>For example, you can create a simple config file named `cross.toml`:
>
>```toml
>[build]
>build = "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu"
>host = ["i686-unknown-linux-gnu"]
>target = ["i686-unknown-linux-gnu"]
>
>
>[llvm]
>download-ci-llvm = false
>
>[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
>llvm-config = "/path/to/llvm-19/bin/llvm-config"
>```
>
>Then, include this in your `bootstrap.toml`:
>
>```toml
>include = ["cross.toml"]
>```
>
>You can also include extensions within extensions recursively.
>
>**Note:** In the `include` field, the overriding logic follows a right-to-left order. For example,
in `include = ["a.toml", "b.toml"]`, extension `b.toml` overrides `a.toml`. Also, parent extensions
always overrides the inner ones.

Rename `LifetimeName` as `LifetimeKind`.
It's a much better name, more consistent with how we name such things.
Also rename `Lifetime::res` as `Lifetime::kind` to match. I suspect this field used to have the type `LifetimeRes` and then the type was changed but the field name remained the same.

- use correct code block markers
- add missing title
- rustfmt can now use edition setting in its config
... and this is set in Rust repo
- reduce visual noise
- needless repetition
- convention is to start sentence with upper case
- sembr
- whitespace
- semi-heading not adding much value
- fix grammar
compiletest: Make `SUGGESTION` annotations viral
If one of them is expected in a test file, then others should be annotated as well, in the same way as with `HELP`s and `NOTE`s.
This doesn't require much of an additional annotation burden, but simplifies the rules.
