[generic_assert] Constify methods used by the formatting system

cc rust-lang#44838

Starts the "constification" of all the elements required to allow the execution of the formatting system in constant environments.

```rust
const _: () = { panic!("{:?}", 1i32); };
```

Further stuff is blocked by rust-lang#133999.
