Diagnostics Handling and Printing

[Boshen]

Topic around creating diagnostics and printing.

The current solution has pros and cons.

• it is easy to construct and read (good)
• all code is in one place (both good and bad)
• the macro generates a lot of code (not good)

Printing is passed to miette.

Conclusion: I've settled for miette. https://github.com/Boshen/oxc/blob/main/crates/oxc_diagnostics/src/lib.rs

I'm somewhat in favor of forking this crate because of its simplicity, both in API and implementation.

all code is in one place (both good and bad)

This can be fixed via pub type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, miette::Error>

I was doing it wrong.
