MIR-borrowck: emit "`foo` does not live long enough" instead of borrow errors
Fixes#45360. As of writing, contains deduplication of existing errors.

Simplify higher-ranked LUB/GLB
This is a better version of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44211. It still makes higher-ranked LUB/GLB into a hard equality test, however, it does try to identify that something changed and issue a notice to the user. I wroteup https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/45852 as a tracking issue for this change.
Currently, this moves straight to a hard-error, on the basis that the crater run in #44211 saw no impact. It might be good to retest -- or perhaps to try for a warning period. Trying to do the latter in a precise way would be somewhat painful, but an imprecise way might suffice -- that is, we could issue warning *whenever* a LUB/GLB operation succeeds that will later fail, even if it doesn't ultimately impact the type check. I could experiment with this.
~~I am *mildly* wary about landing this independently of other code that moves to a universe-based system. In particular, I was nervous that this change would make coherence accepts new pairs of impls that will later be errors. I have the code for the universe-based approach available, I hope to open an PR and run some tests on its impact very shortly.~~ @arielb1 points out that I was being silly.

After this change, impl Trait existentials are
desugared to a new `abstract type` definition
paired with a set of lifetimes to apply.
In-scope generics are included as parents of the
`abstract type` generics. Parent regions are
replaced with static, and parent regions
referenced in the `impl Trait` type are duplicated
at the end of the `abstract type`'s generics.
MIR: hide .rodata constants vs by-ref ABI clash in trans.
Back in #45380, constants were copied into locals during MIR creation to ensure that arguments ' memory can be used by the callee, if the constant is placed in `.rodata` and the ABI passes it by-ref.
However, there are several drawbacks (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45380#discussion_r150447709), most importantly the complication of constant propagation (UB if a constant ends up in `Call` arguments) and inconveniencing analyses.
Instead, I've modified the `rustc_trans` implementation of calls to copy an `Operand::Constant` argument locally if it's not immediate, and added a test that segfaults without the copy.

integrate MIR type-checker with NLL inference
This branch refactors NLL type inference so that it uses the MIR type-checker to gather constraints. Along the way, it also refactors how region constraints are gathered in the normal inference context mildly. The new setup is like this:
- What used to be `region_inference` is split into two parts:
- `region_constraints`, which just collects up sets of constraints
- `lexical_region_resolve`, which does the iterative, lexical region resolution
- When `resolve_regions_and_report_errors` is invoked, the inference engine converts the constraints into final values.
- In the MIR type checker, however, we do not invoke this method, but instead periodically take the region constraints and package them up for the NLL solver to use later.
- This allows us to track when and where those constraints were incurred.
- We also remove the central fulfillment context from the MIR type checker, instead instantiating new fulfillment contexts at each point. This allows us to capture the set of obligations that occurred at a particular point, and also to ensure that if the same obligation arises at two points, we will enforce the region constraints at both locations.
- The MIR type checker is also enhanced to instantiate late-bound-regions with fresh variables and handle a few other corner cases that arose.
- I also extracted some of the 'outlives' logic from the regionck, which will be needed later (see future work) to handle the type-outlives relationships.
One concern I have with this branch: since the MIR type checker is used even without the `-Znll` switch, I'm not sure if it will impact performance. One simple fix here would be to only enable the MIR type-checker if debug-assertions are enabled, since it just serves to validate the MIR. Longer term I hope to address this by improving the interface to the trait solver to be more query-based (ongoing work).
There is plenty of future work left. Here are two things that leap to mind:
- **Type-region outlives.** Currently, the NLL solver will ICE if it is required to handle a constraint like `T: 'a`. Fixing this will require a small amount of refactoring to extract the implied bounds code. I plan to follow a file-up bug on this (hopefully with mentoring instructions).
- **Testing.** It's a good idea to enumerate some of the tricky scenarios that need testing, but I think it'd be nice to try and parallelize some of the actual test writing (and resulting bug fixing):
- Same obligation occurring at two points.
- Well-formedness and trait obligations of various kinds (which are not all processed by the current MIR type-checker).
- More tests for how subtyping and region inferencing interact.
- More suggestions welcome!

This restores the behavior of regionck with respect to the
free-region-map: that is, it collects all the relations from the fn
and its closures. This feels a bit fishy but it's the behavior we've
had for some time, and it will go away with NLL, so seems best to just
keep it.
