Rollup merge of #62869 - matklad:feature-gate, r=Mark-Simulacrum

add rustc_private as a proper language feature gate

At the moment, `rustc_private` as a (library) feature exists by
accident: `char::is_xid_start`, `char::is_xid_continue` methods in
libcore define it.

I don't know if this is at all reasonable, but at least tests seem to pass locally. That probably means that we can remove/rename to something more resonable the feature in libcore in the next release?
