Add approximate suggestions for rustfix

This adds `span_approximate_suggestion()` that lets you emit a
suggestion marked as "approximate" in the JSON output. UI
users see no difference. This is for when rustc and clippy wish to
 emit suggestions which will make sense to the reader (e.g. they may
have placeholders like `<type>`) but are not source-applicable, so that
rustfix/etc can ignore these.

fixes #39254
