Rollup merge of #77825 - ethanboxx:min_const_generics_diagnostic, r=lcnr

`min_const_generics` diagnostics improvements

As disscussed in [zulip/project-const-generics/non-trivial anonymous constant](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/260443-project-const-generics/topic/non-trivial.20anonymous.20constants).

This is my first PR on the compiler.

@lcnr is mentoring me on this PR.

Related to #60551.
