Replace ReadOnlyFetch with ReadOnlyWorldQuery (#4626)
# Objective
- Fix a type inference regression introduced by #3001
- Make read only bounds on world queries more user friendly
ptrification required you to write `Q::Fetch: ReadOnlyFetch` as `for<'w> QueryFetch<'w, Q>: ReadOnlyFetch` which has the same type inference problem as `for<'w> QueryFetch<'w, Q>: FilterFetch<'w>` had, i.e. the following code would error:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Foo;
fn bar(a: Query<(&Foo, Without<Foo>)>) {
foo(a);
}
fn foo<Q: WorldQuery>(a: Query<Q, ()>)
where
for<'w> QueryFetch<'w, Q>: ReadOnlyFetch,
{
}
```
`for<..>` bounds are also rather user unfriendly..
## Solution
Remove the `ReadOnlyFetch` trait in favour of a `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` trait, and remove `WorldQueryGats::ReadOnlyFetch` in favor of `WorldQuery::ReadOnly` allowing the previous code snippet to be written as:
```rust
#[derive(Component)]
struct Foo;
fn bar(a: Query<(&Foo, Without<Foo>)>) {
foo(a);
}
fn foo<Q: ReadOnlyWorldQuery>(a: Query<Q, ()>) {}
```
This avoids the `for<...>` bound which makes the code simpler and also fixes the type inference issue.
The reason for moving the two functions out of `FetchState` and into `WorldQuery` is to allow the world query `&mut T` to share a `State` with the `&T` world query so that it can have `type ReadOnly = &T`. Presumably it would be possible to instead have a `ReadOnlyRefMut<T>` world query and then do `type ReadOnly = ReadOnlyRefMut<T>` much like how (before this PR) we had a `ReadOnlyWriteFetch<T>`. A side benefit of the current solution in this PR is that it will likely make it easier in the future to support an API such as `Query<&mut T> -> Query<&T>`. The primary benefit IMO is just that `ReadOnlyRefMut<T>` and its associated fetch would have to reimplement all of the logic that the `&T` world query impl does but this solution avoids that :)

## Changelog/Migration Guide
The trait `ReadOnlyFetch` has been replaced with `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` along with the `WorldQueryGats::ReadOnlyFetch` assoc type which has been replaced with `<WorldQuery::ReadOnly as WorldQueryGats>::Fetch`
- Any where clauses such as `QueryFetch<Q>: ReadOnlyFetch` should be replaced with `Q: ReadOnlyWorldQuery`.
- Any custom world query impls should implement `ReadOnlyWorldQuery` insead of `ReadOnlyFetch`
Functions `update_component_access` and `update_archetype_component_access` have been moved from the `FetchState` trait to `WorldQuery`
- Any callers should now call `Q::update_component_access(state` instead of `state.update_component_access` (and `update_archetype_component_access` respectively)
- Any custom world query impls should move the functions from the `FetchState` impl to `WorldQuery` impl
`WorldQuery` has been made an `unsafe trait`, `FetchState` has been made a safe `trait`. (I think this is how it should have always been, but regardless this is _definitely_ necessary now that the two functions have been moved to `WorldQuery`)
- If you have a custom `FetchState` impl make it a normal `impl` instead of `unsafe impl`
- If you have a custom `WorldQuery` impl make it an `unsafe impl`, if your code was sound before it is going to still be sound
