Allow `arena_cache` queries to return `Option<&'tcx T>` Currently, `arena_cache` queries always have to return `&'tcx T`[^deref]. This means that if an arena-cached query wants to return an optional value, it has to return `&'tcx Option<T>`, which has a few negative consequences: - It goes against normal Rust style, where `Option<&T>` is preferred over `&Option<T>`. - Callers that actually want an `Option<&T>` have to manually call `.as_ref()` on the query result. - When the query result is `None`, a full-sized `Option<T>` still needs to be stored in the arena. This PR solves that problem by introducing a helper trait `ArenaCached` that is implemented for both `&T` and `Option<&T>`, and takes care of bridging between the provided type, the arena-allocated type, and the declared query return type. --- To demonstrate that this works, I have converted the two existing arena-cached queries that currently return `&Option<T>`: `mir_coroutine_witnesses` and `diagnostic_hir_wf_check`. Only the query declarations need to be modified; existing providers and callers continue to work with the new query return type. (My real goal is to apply this to `coverage_ids_info`, which will return Option as of #135873, but that PR hasn't landed yet.) [^deref]: Technically they could return other types that implement `Deref`, but it's hard to imagine this working well with anything other than `&T`. |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
