Auto merge of #74595 - lcnr:ConstEvaluatable-fut-compat, r=oli-obk
make `ConstEvaluatable` more strict
relevant zulip discussion: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/146212-t-compiler.2Fconst-eval/topic/.60ConstEvaluatable.60.20generic.20functions/near/204125452
Let's see how much this impacts. Depending on how this goes this should probably be a future compat warning.
Short explanation: we currently forbid anonymous constants which depend on generic types, e.g. `[0; std::mem::size_of::<T>]` currently errors.
We previously checked this by evaluating the constant and returned an error if that failed. This however allows things like
```rust
const fn foo<T>() -> usize {
if std::mem::size_of::<*mut T>() < 8 { // size of *mut T does not depend on T
std::mem::size_of::<T>()
} else {
8
}
}
fn test<T>() {
let _ = [0; foo::<T>()];
}
```
which is a backwards compatibility hazard. This also has worrying interactions with mir optimizations (#74491 (comment)) and intrinsics (#74538).
