Unions cannot have unsized fields, and as such, layout computation for
unions asserts that each union field is sized (as this would normally
have halted compilation earlier).
However, if a generator ends up with an unsized local - a circumstance
in which an error will always have been emitted earlier, for example, if
attempting to dereference a `&str` - then the generator transform will
produce a union with an unsized field.
Since #110107, later passes will be run, such as constant propagation,
and can attempt layout computation on the generator, which will result
in layout computation of `str` in the context of it being a field of a
union - and so the aforementioned assertion would cause an ICE.
It didn't seem appropriate to try and detect this case in the MIR body
and skip this specific pass; tainting the MIR body or delaying a bug
from the generator transform (or elsewhere) wouldn't prevent this either
(as neither would prevent the later pass from running); and tainting when
the deref of `&str` is reported, if that's possible, would unnecessarily
prevent potential other errors from being reported later in compilation,
and is very tailored to this specific case of getting a unsized type in
a generator.
Given that this circumstance can only happen when an error should have
already been reported, the correct fix appears to be just changing the
assert to a delayed bug. This will still assert if there is some
circumstance where this occurs and no error has been reported, but it
won't crash the compiler in this instance.
