Handle panicking like rustc CTFE does

Instead of using `core::fmt::format` to format panic messages, which may in turn
panic too and cause recursive panics and other messy things, redirect
`panic_fmt` to `const_panic_fmt` like CTFE, which in turn goes to
`panic_display` and does the things normally. See the tests for the full
call stack.
