When BoxFuture is expected and we supply Pin::new(async { /* .. */ }), Box::new(async { /* .. */ }) or Pin::new(Box::new(async { /* .. */ })) we should lead the user in the right direction instead of what we do now:

error[E0277]: the trait bound `dyn std::future::Future<Output = i32> + std::marker::Send: std::marker::Unpin` is not satisfied
  --> file5.rs:10:5

10 |     Pin::new(async { 42 })
   |     ^^^^^^^^ the trait `std::marker::Unpin` is not implemented for `dyn std::future::Future<Output = i32> + std::marker::Send`
   |
   = note: required by `std::pin::Pin::<P>::new`

For the second case we could suggest Box::into_pin once #62370 stabilizes. The other two cases can be handled with a rustc_on_unimplemented note.

All that's left is to update the tests in the next release.
