#[repr()] is allowed where it shouldn't #129606

@Kyuuhachi

I tried this code:

#[repr()] const CONST: u32 = 8;
#[repr()] struct Struct;
#[repr()] trait Trait {}
#[repr()] impl Trait for Struct {}
#[repr()] fn func() { #[repr()] let a = 4; }

I expected to see this happen: #[repr] doesn't make sense on other than struct/enum/union, so it shouldn't be permitted. Every case except the struct should be an error. Not sure if that one ought to be legal either, but I guess the current warning is enough there.

Instead, this happened: Plenty of unused attribute warnings, but it compiles.

Tested on playground, both 1.80.1 and 1.82.0-nightly (2024-08-24 f167efad2f51088d8618).
