rename erase_regions to erase_and_anonymize_regions

I find it consistently confusing that `erase_regions` does more than replacing regions with `'erased`. it also makes some code look real goofy to be writing manual folders to erase regions with a comment saying "we cant use erase regions" :> or code that re-calls erase_regions on types with regions already erased just to anonymize all the bound regions.

r? lcnr

idk how i feel about the name being almost twice as long now

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
