Rollup merge of #105860 - Ezrashaw:add-long-errors-0460-0457, r=jruderman,GuillaumeGomez

Add long error docs for `E0460` and `E0457`

Final docs for errors in #61137 that have UI tests, my next PRs will also add these tests.

+Plugin `..` only found in rlib format, but must be available in dylib format.
+
+Erroronous code example:
+
+`rlib-plugin.rs`
+```ignore (needs-linkage-with-other-tests)
+#![crate_type = "rlib"]
+#![feature(rustc_private)]
+
+extern crate rustc_middle;
+extern crate rustc_driver;
+
+use rustc_driver::plugin::Registry;
+
+#[no_mangle]
+fn __rustc_plugin_registrar(_: &mut Registry) {}
+```
+
+`main.rs`
+```ignore (needs-linkage-with-other-tests)
+#![feature(plugin)]
+#![plugin(rlib_plugin)] // error: plugin `rlib_plugin` only found in rlib
+                        //        format, but must be available in dylib
+
+fn main() {}
+```
+
+The compiler exposes a plugin interface to allow altering the compile process
+(adding lints, etc). Plugins must be defined in their own crates (similar to
+[proc-macro](../reference/procedural-macros.html) isolation) and then compiled
+and linked to another crate. Plugin crates *must* be compiled to the
+dynamically-linked dylib format, and not the statically-linked rlib format.
+Learn more about different output types in
+[this section](../reference/linkage.html) of the Rust reference.
+
+This error is easily fixed by recompiling the plugin crate in the dylib format.

+The dependency graph of this program can be represented as follows:
+```text
+    crate `main`
+         |
+         +-------------+
+         |             |
+         |             v
+depends: |         crate `b`
+ `a` v1  |             |
+         |             | depends:
+         |             |  `a` v2
+         v             |
+      crate `a` <------+
+```
+
+Crate `main` depends on crate `a` (version 1) and crate `b` which in turn
+depends on crate `a` (version 2); this discrepancy in versions cannot be
+reconciled. This difference in versions typically occurs when one crate is
+compiled and linked, then updated and linked to another crate. The crate
+"version" is a SVH (Strict Version Hash) of the crate in an
+implementation-specific way. Note that this error can *only* occur when
+directly compiling and linking with `rustc`; [Cargo] automatically resolves
+dependencies, without using the compiler's own dependency management that
+causes this issue.
+
+This error can be fixed by:
+ * Using [Cargo], the Rust package manager, automatically fixing this issue.
+ * Recompiling crate `a` so that both crate `b` and `main` have a uniform
+   version to depend on.
