Get rid of HIR const checker
As far as I can tell, the HIR const checker was implemented in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/66170 because we were not able to issue useful const error messages in the MIR const checker.
This seems to have changed in the last 5 years, probably due to work like #90532. I've tweaked the diagnostics slightly and think the error messages have gotten *better* in fact.
Thus I think the HIR const checker has reached the end of its usefulness, and we can retire it.
