Implement lint against direct uses of rustc_type_ir in compiler crates

This commit adds a lint to prevent the use of rustc_type_ir in random
compiler crates, except for type system internals traits, which are
explicitly allowed. Moreover, this fixes diagnostic_items() to include
the CRATE_OWNER_ID, otherwise rustc_diagnostic_item attribute is ignored
on the crate root.
