Implement arbitrary_self_types
r? @arielb1
cc @nikomatsakis
Partial implementation of #44874. Supports trait and struct methods with arbitrary self types, as long as the type derefs (transitively) to `Self`. Doesn't support raw-pointer `self` yet.
Methods with non-standard self types (i.e. anything other than `&self, &mut self, and Box<Self>`) are not object safe, because dynamic dispatch hasn't been implemented for them yet.
I believe this is also a (partial) fix for #27941.
The syntax crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), parser, pretty-printer,
lexer, macro expander, and utilities for traversing ASTs.
