The AST pretty printing is a bit wonky. The HIR pretty printing is extremely wonky.
Indents for `cbox` and `ibox` are 0 or `INDENT_UNIT` (4) except for a couple of places which are `INDENT_UNIT - 1` for no clear reason. This commit changes the three space indents to four spaces.
By removing some of the over-indenting. AST pretty printing now looks correct. HIR pretty printing is better, but still over-indents some.

In the AST the "then" block is represented as a `Block`. In HIR the "then" block is represented as an `Expr` that happens to always be. `ExprKind::Block`. By deconstructing the `ExprKind::Block` to extract the block within, things print properly. For `issue-82392.rs`, note that we no longer print a type after the "then" block. This is good, it now matches how we don't print a type for the "else" block. (Well, we do print a type after the "else" block, but it's for the whole if/else.) Also tighten up some of the pattern matching -- these block expressions within if/else will never have labels.

The pretty-printers open and close "boxes" of text a lot. The open and close operations must be matched. The matching is currently all implicit and very easy to get wrong. (rust-lang#140280 and rust-lang#140246 are two recent pretty-printing fixes that both involved unclosed boxes.) This commit introduced `BoxMarker`, a marker type that represents an open box. It makes box opening/closing explicit, which makes it much easier to understand and harder to get wrong. The commit also removes many comments are on `end` calls saying things like "end outer head-block", "Close the outer-box". These demonstrate how confusing the implicit approach was, but aren't necessary any more.
