Rollup merge of #101131 - RalfJung:ctfe-no-needs-rfc, r=oli-obk

CTFE: exposing pointers and calling extern fn is just impossible

The remaining "needs RFC" errors are just needlessly confusing, I think -- time to get rid of that error variant. They are anyway only reachable with miri-unleashed (if at all).
