auto merge of #17653 : kaini/rust/master, r=alexcrichton

Fixes that unit-like structs cannot be used if they are re-exported and used in another crate. (ICE)
The relevant changes are in `rustc::metadata::{decoder, encoder}` and `rustc::middle::ty`.

A test case is included.

The problem is that the expressoin `UnitStruct` is an `ExprPath` to an `DefFn`, which is of expr kind `RvalueDatumExpr`, but for unit-struct ctors the expr kind should be `RvalueDpsExpr`. I fixed this (in a I guess clean way) by introducing `CtorFn` in the metadata and including a `is_ctor` flag in `DefFn`.
