Unrolled build for rust-lang#135046

Rollup merge of rust-lang#135046 - RalfJung:rustc_box_intrinsic, r=compiler-errors

turn rustc_box into an intrinsic

I am not entirely sure why this was made a special magic attribute, but an intrinsic seems like a more natural way to add magic expressions to the language.
