## Summary
This PR introduces a new `StringLike` enum which is a narrow type to
indicate string-like nodes. These includes the string literals, bytes
literals, and the literal parts of f-strings.
The main motivation behind this is to avoid repetition of rule calling
in the AST checker. We add a new `analyze::string_like` function which
takes in the enum and calls all the respective rule functions which
expects atleast 2 of the variants of this enum.
I'm open to discarding this if others think it's not that useful at this
stage as currently only 3 rules require these nodes.

## Summary
This PR updates the AST structure for an f-string elements.
The main **motivation** behind this change is to have a dedicated node
for the string part of an f-string. Previously, the existing
`ExprStringLiteral` node was used for this purpose which isn't exactly
correct. The `ExprStringLiteral` node should include the quotes as well
in the range but the f-string literal element doesn't include the quote
as it's a specific part within an f-string. For example,
```python
f"foo {x}"
# ^^^^
# This is the literal part of an f-string
```
The introduction of `FStringElement` enum is helpful which represent
either the literal part or the expression part of an f-string.
### Rule Updates
This means that there'll be two nodes representing a string depending on
the context. One for a normal string literal while the other is a string
literal within an f-string. The AST checker is updated to accommodate
this change. The rules which work on string literal are updated to check
on the literal part of f-string as well.
#### Notes
1. The `Expr::is_literal_expr` method would check for
`ExprStringLiteral` and return true if so. But now that we don't
represent the literal part of an f-string using that node, this improves
the method's behavior and confines to the actual expression. We do have
the `FStringElement::is_literal` method.
2. We avoid checking if we're in a f-string context before adding to
`string_type_definitions` because the f-string literal is now a
dedicated node and not part of `Expr`.
3. Annotations cannot use f-string so we avoid changing any rules which
work on annotation and checks for `ExprStringLiteral`.
## Test Plan
- All references of `Expr::StringLiteral` were checked to see if any of
the rules require updating to account for the f-string literal element
node.
- New test cases are added for rules which check against the literal
part of an f-string.
- Check the ecosystem results and ensure it remains unchanged.
## Performance
There's a performance penalty in the parser. The reason for this remains
unknown as it seems that the generated assembly code is now different
for the `__reduce154` function. The reduce function body is just popping
the `ParenthesizedExpr` on top of the stack and pushing it with the new
location.
- The size of `FStringElement` enum is the same as `Expr` which is what
it replaces in `FString::format_spec`
- The size of `FStringExpressionElement` is the same as
`ExprFormattedValue` which is what it replaces
I tried reducing the `Expr` enum from 80 bytes to 72 bytes but it hardly
resulted in any performance gain. The difference can be seen here:
- Original profile: https://share.firefox.dev/3Taa7ES
- Profile after boxing some node fields:
https://share.firefox.dev/3GsNXpD
### Backtracking
I tried backtracking the changes to see if any of the isolated change
produced this regression. The problem here is that the overall change is
so small that there's only a single checkpoint where I can backtrack and
that checkpoint results in the same regression. This checkpoint is to
revert using `Expr` to the `FString::format_spec` field. After this
point, the change would revert back to the original implementation.
## Review process
The review process is similar to #7927. The first set of commits update
the node structure, parser, and related AST files. Then, further commits
update the linter and formatter part to account for the AST change.

## Summary
This PR updates the string nodes (`ExprStringLiteral`,
`ExprBytesLiteral`, and `ExprFString`) to account for implicit string
concatenation.
### Motivation
In Python, implicit string concatenation are joined while parsing
because the interpreter doesn't require the information for each part.
While that's feasible for an interpreter, it falls short for a static
analysis tool where having such information is more useful. Currently,
various parts of the code uses the lexer to get the individual string
parts.
One of the main challenge this solves is that of string formatting.
Currently, the formatter relies on the lexer to get the individual
string parts, and formats them including the comments accordingly. But,
with PEP 701, f-string can also contain comments. Without this change,
it becomes very difficult to add support for f-string formatting.
### Implementation
The initial proposal was made in this discussion:
https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/discussions/6183#discussioncomment-6591993.
There were various AST designs which were explored for this task which
are available in the linked internal document[^1].
The selected variant was the one where the nodes were kept as it is
except that the `implicit_concatenated` field was removed and instead a
new struct was added to the `Expr*` struct. This would be a private
struct would contain the actual implementation of how the AST is
designed for both single and implicitly concatenated strings.
This implementation is achieved through an enum with two variants:
`Single` and `Concatenated` to avoid allocating a vector even for single
strings. There are various public methods available on the value struct
to query certain information regarding the node.
The nodes are structured in the following way:
```
ExprStringLiteral - "foo" "bar"
|- StringLiteral - "foo"
|- StringLiteral - "bar"
ExprBytesLiteral - b"foo" b"bar"
|- BytesLiteral - b"foo"
|- BytesLiteral - b"bar"
ExprFString - "foo" f"bar {x}"
|- FStringPart::Literal - "foo"
|- FStringPart::FString - f"bar {x}"
|- StringLiteral - "bar "
|- FormattedValue - "x"
```

#### Visitor
The way the nodes are structured is that the entire string, including
all the parts that are implicitly concatenation, is a single node
containing individual nodes for the parts. The previous section has a
representation of that tree for all the string nodes. This means that
new visitor methods are added to visit the individual parts of string,
bytes, and f-strings for `Visitor`, `PreorderVisitor`, and
`Transformer`.
## Test Plan
- `cargo insta test --workspace --all-features --unreferenced reject`
- Verify that the ecosystem results are unchanged
## Summary
This PR adds a new `LiteralExpressionRef` which wraps all of the literal
expression nodes in a single enum. This allows for a narrow type when
working exclusively with a literal node. Additionally, it also
implements a `Expr::as_literal_expr` method to return the new enum if
the expression is indeed a literal one.
A few rules have been updated to account for the new enum:
1. `redundant_literal_union`
2. `if_else_block_instead_of_dict_lookup`
3. `magic_value_comparison`
To account for the change in (2), a new `ComparableLiteral` has been
added which can be constructed from the new enum
(`ComparableLiteral::from(<LiteralExpressionRef>)`).
### Open Questions
1. The new `ComparableLiteral` can be exclusively used via the
`LiteralExpressionRef` enum. Should we remove all of the literal
variants from `ComparableExpr` and instead have a single
`ComparableExpr::Literal(ComparableLiteral)` variant instead?
## Test Plan
`cargo test`
## Summary
This PR splits the `Constant` enum as individual literal nodes. It
introduces the following new nodes for each variant:
* `ExprStringLiteral`
* `ExprBytesLiteral`
* `ExprNumberLiteral`
* `ExprBooleanLiteral`
* `ExprNoneLiteral`
* `ExprEllipsisLiteral`
The main motivation behind this refactor is to introduce the new AST
node for implicit string concatenation in the coming PR. The elements of
that node will be either a string literal, bytes literal or a f-string
which can be implemented using an enum. This means that a string or
bytes literal cannot be represented by `Constant::Str` /
`Constant::Bytes` which creates an inconsistency.
This PR avoids that inconsistency by splitting the constant nodes into
it's own literal nodes, literal being the more appropriate naming
convention from a static analysis tool perspective.
This also makes working with literals in the linter and formatter much
more ergonomic like, for example, if one would want to check if this is
a string literal, it can be done easily using
`Expr::is_string_literal_expr` or matching against `Expr::StringLiteral`
as oppose to matching against the `ExprConstant` and enum `Constant`. A
few AST helper methods can be simplified as well which will be done in a
follow-up PR.
This introduces a new `Expr::is_literal_expr` method which is the same
as `Expr::is_constant_expr`. There are also intermediary changes related
to implicit string concatenation which are quiet less. This is done so
as to avoid having a huge PR which this already is.
## Test Plan
1. Verify and update all of the existing snapshots (parser, visitor)
2. Verify that the ecosystem check output remains **unchanged** for both
the linter and formatter

## Summary
The motivation here is that this enables us to implement `Ranged` in
crates that don't depend on `ruff_python_ast`.
Largely a mechanical refactor with a lot of regex, Clippy help, and
manual fixups.
