Description
Blocked on #7797.
This was initially attempted in #7668.
We probably should write an internal lint to detect trimmed path invocations that would ICE if a lint is not emitted (e.g. it is allowed). This would work by finding Ty as Display usages like type.to_string() or tcx.def_path_str calls that occur outside of span_clippy_lint.

Research direction
Start with the blocker in #7797 and the earlier attempt in #7668. Inspect Ty as Display usages such as type.to_string() and tcx.def_path_str outside span_clippy_lint; the work is done when trimmed-path invocations are detected and permitted cases do not ICE.
