Auto merge of #113591 - mdibaiee:genericargs-cleanup, r=oli-obk

refactor(rustc_middle): Substs -> GenericArg

resolves #110793

- [x] rename `SubstsRef` and `InternalSubsts` to `GenericArgsRef<'tcx>` and `GenericArgs<'tcx>`.
- [x] rename variables and fields currently using `substs` to `args`.
- [x] update the module name of `ty::subst` to `ty::generic_args` or sth. Make that module private and publicly reexport its content in the ty module.
- [x] rename `EarlyBinder::subst(_identity)` to `EarlyBinder::instantiate(_identity)`.
- [x] types called `[a-zA-Z]+Substs` renamed to `XArgs`.
- [x] functions containing `substs` now use `args` or `generic_args` (mostly the former).

However, the verb of "substituting" is still being used here and there, mostly in comments. I think that can be a separate PR as part of rust-lang/rust#110254 to change the verb to `replace_generics` or something similar.
