…on-drop-suggest-copy-bound-alternative, r=davidtwco [diagnostics] Add mentions to `Copy` types being valid for `union` fields This came up from some user on Discord which was using a `T : PrimitiveInt` generic type, and they wanted to use in a `union`. Rather than adding a `Copy` bound, they started pondering about the `ManuallyDrop<T>` road, and how to correctly use `unsafe` to perform the drops. <img width="648" alt="Screen Shot 2022-02-15 at 22 28 34" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/9920355/154152496-8f9be74b-ad59-4724-8f9e-48b446774e06.png"> - [Discord link](https://discord.com/channels/442252698964721669/443150878111694848/943092778534072320) So, it seemed like the error message for types with potential drop glue on `union` fields could be improved to also mention the `Copy` alternative, since in many cases where `union`s are concerned, people are dealing with PODs / `Copy` types anyways 🙂 ___ `@rustbot` modify labels: +A-diagnostics +D-terse
