Unrolled build for #157933

Rollup merge of #157933 - hanna-kruppe:fmt-pointer-const-thin, r=Darksonn

Use constant for detecting thin pointer formatting

This allows codegen to prune the unnecessary side of the `if` for each pointer type during monomorphization. In release builds, LLVM can clean it up, but it's better to not emit unnecessary code in the first place.
