Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read the text below

Benchmarking this pull request means it may be perf-sensitive – we'll automatically label it not fit for rolling up. You can override this, but we strongly advise not to, due to possible changes in compiler perf.

Next Steps: If you can justify the regressions found in this try perf run, please do so in sufficient writing along with @rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged. If not, please fix the regressions and do another perf run. If its results are neutral or positive, the label will be automatically removed.

I left some comments along the way, but this looks good to me. r=me with minor updates to address things if you see fit. (Or wait for oli if you think this should go through someone more knowledgeable about const stuff.)

How to interpret the job duration changes?

Job durations can vary a lot, based on the actual runner instance
that executed the job, system noise, invalidated caches, etc. The table above is provided
mostly for t-infra members, for simpler debugging of potential CI slow-downs.

Overall result: ❌✅ regressions and improvements - please read the text below

Our benchmarks found a performance regression caused by this PR.
This might be an actual regression, but it can also be just noise.

Next Steps:

If the regression was expected or you think it can be justified,
please write a comment with sufficient written justification, and add
@rustbot label: +perf-regression-triaged to it, to mark the regression as triaged.
If you think that you know of a way to resolve the regression, try to create
a new PR with a fix for the regression.
If you do not understand the regression or you think that it is just noise,
you can ask the @rust-lang/wg-compiler-performance working group for help (members of this group
were already notified of this PR).

Relevant upstream PR: - rust-lang/rust#147793 (Replace NullOp::SizeOf and NullOp::AlignOf by lang items.) Resolves: model-checking#4425

…ug-msg, r=Noratrieb,dianqk Improve the ICE message for invalid nullary intrinsic calls In rust-lang#148104, we found the panic message here rather confusing, and (if I'm reading the tea leaves right) that's because the intended audience for either side of the phrase is very different. I think this is more clear if/when this is encountered by users. I expect this ICE to be hit in practice by people calling the `size_of` and `align_of` intrinsics, so it's now _kind of_ helpful for those users too. The original effort to stop backends from needing to support nullary intrinsics added a note to all these const-only intrinsics, but when rust-lang#147793 ported two more the paragraph wasn't added. I've added it.
