ConstEval/ConstProp: get rid of Panic error kind

[RalfJung]

With the Miri engine now having support for properly executing panics, a panicking program does not really constitute an "interpreter error" any more. So we should get rid of the InterpError::Panic variant.

• We'll need to decide what else to do with the throw_panic! that still exist. This one I think should be throw_ub! instead; same for the "division/remainder by zero" in this file. With well-formed MIR I think those are all unreachable, but I see no harm in letting Miri also support some "reasonable" MIR that rustc would never emit (such as omitting the bounds check on an array access, or the div-by-zero check). Overflowing pointer arithmetic should also be UB I think.
• ConstEval should probably format an error message directly when a panic occurs (here or in the new assert_panic hook added by Miri engine: proper support for Assert MIR terminators #66874). This could be propagated outwards via a new MachineError(String) variant of InterpError, if nothing else fits.
• I am not sure what ConstProp should do. The throw_panic! mentioned above are, I think, currently actually hit by ConstProp -- but maybe those same errors can be better shown by determining that the condition of an Assert terminator is constant, and indeed that might explain why we currently sometimes have duplicate error messages. It also contains a throw_panic! here.

Unless I'm not understanding what you're saying, that's exactly how it currently works in ConstProp:

rust/src/librustc_mir/transform/const_prop.rs

Lines 817 to 822 in d8bdb3f

	TerminatorKind::Assert { expected, ref msg, ref mut cond, .. } => {
	if let Some(value) = self.eval_operand(&cond, source_info) {
	trace!("assertion on {:?} should be {:?}", value, expected);
	let expected = ScalarMaybeUndef::from(Scalar::from_bool(*expected));
	let value_const = self.ecx.read_scalar(value).unwrap();
	if expected != value_const {

Yeah I think that is what I imagined. So I will start by experimenting with replacing the throw_panic! that we have with throw_ub!.

Turns out that assumption is wrong: the MIR of promoteds actually is not well-formed in this sense; it can contain unchecked array/slice accesses.
