This means that rather than this:
```
AK_TYPEDEF_DISTINCT_NUMERIC_GENERAL(u64, true, true, false, false,
false, true, FunctionAddress);
```
We now have this:
```
AK_TYPEDEF_DISTINCT_NUMERIC_GENERAL(u64, FunctionAddress, Arithmetic,
Comparison, Increment);
```
Which is a lot more readable. :^)

C++20 can automatically synthesize `operator!=` from `operator==`, so
there is no point in writing such functions by hand if all they do is
call through to `operator==`.
This fixes a compile error with compilers that implement P2468 (Clang
16 currently). This paper restores the C++17 behavior that if both
`T::operator==(U)` and `T::operator!=(U)` exist, `U == T` won't be
rewritten in reverse to call `T::operator==(U)`. Removing `!=` operators
makes the rewriting possible again.

This isn't a complete conversion to ErrorOr<void>, but a good chunk.
The end goal here is to propagate buffer allocation failures to the
caller, and allow the use of TRY() with formatting functions.
Forcing the formatting to go through `Formatter<FormatString>` is
completely unnecessary, increases code size, performs a String
allocation and prevents us from using the formatting options available
on that type.
This commit also removes explicit formatters from
`BlockBasedFileSystem::BlockIndex` and `Kernel::InodeIndex`, as those
are already covered by the blanket implementation for all
`DistinctNumeric` types.

This is basically just for consistency, it's quite strange to see
multiple AK container types next to each other, some with and some
without the namespace prefix - we're 'using AK::Foo;' a lot and should
leverage that. :^)
These don't do short-circuit evaluation, and so I ran into some
some very subtle side-effects when converting code to DistinctNumeric.
In code like this:
MyDistinctNumeric n;
if (n && check_thing(n))
return;
There would be no short-circuit evaluation if the return type of
check_thing() was implicitly convertible to MyDistinctNumeric.
Ran into this while making Ext2FS::GroupIndex a DistinctNumeric.
Problem:
- `typedef` is a keyword which comes from C and carries with it old
syntax that is hard to read.
- Creating type aliases with the `using` keyword allows for easier
future maintenance because it supports template syntax.
- There is inconsistent use of `typedef` vs `using`.
Solution:
- Use `clang-tidy`'s checker called `modernize-use-using` to update
the syntax to use the newer syntax.
- Remove unused functions to make `clang-tidy` happy.
- This results in consistency within the codebase.
This template class allows for easy generation of incompatible numeric types.
This is useful whenever code has to handle heterogenous data (like meters and
seconds) but the underlying data types are compatible (like int and int).
The motivation comes from the Kernel's inconsistent use of pid_t for process and
thread IDs even though the ID spaces are incompatible, and translating forth/back
is nontrivial.
Other uses could be units (as described above), or incompatible index systems.
A popular use in real life is image manipulation, when there are multiple
coordinate systems.
