Rollup merge of rust-lang#93845 - compiler-errors:in-band-lifetimes, r=cjgillot

Remove in band lifetimes

As discussed in t-lang backlog bonanza, the `in_band_lifetimes` FCP closed in favor for the feature not being stabilized. This PR removes `#![feature(in_band_lifetimes)]` in its entirety.

Let me know if this PR is too hasty, and if we should instead do something intermediate for deprecate the feature first.

r? `@scottmcm` (or feel free to reassign, just saw your last comment on rust-lang#44524)
Closes rust-lang#44524
