Rollup merge of #108958 - clubby789:unbox-the-hir, r=compiler-errors

Remove box expressions from HIR

After #108516, `#[rustc_box]` is used at HIR->THIR lowering and this is no longer emitted, so it can be removed.

This is based on top of #108471 to help with conflicts, so 43490488ccacd1a822e9c621f5ed6fca99959a0b is the only relevant commit (sorry for all the duplicated pings!)
