Rollup merge of rust-lang#24458 - michaelsproul:extended-errors, r=huonw

 I've updated the diagnostic registration plugin so that it validates error descriptions. An error description is only valid if it starts and ends with a newline, and contains no more than 80 characters per line.

The plugin forced me to fix E0005 and E0006 which had escaped manual attention!

I've also added errors for E0267, E0268, E0296, whilst updating E0303 as per discussion in rust-lang#24143.

-`const` and `static` mean different things. A `const` is a compile-time
-constant, an alias for a literal value. This property means you can match it
-directly within a pattern.
-
-The `static` keyword, on the other hand, guarantees a fixed location in memory.
-This does not always mean that the value is constant. For example, a global
-mutex can be declared `static` as well.
-
-If you want to match against a `static`, consider using a guard instead:
-
-static FORTY_TWO: i32 = 42;
-match Some(42) {
-    Some(x) if x == FORTY_TWO => ...

-In Rust, you can only move a value when its size is known at compile time.
