Later changes on this branch adapt the rest of rustc::middle::trans
to use this module instead of scattered hard-coded knowledge of
representations; a few of them also have improvements or cleanup for
adt.rs (and many added comments) that weren't drastic enough to justify
changing history to move them into this commit.
Work towards #4846.
- Institute new region defaults where all omitted regions get a fresh lifetime.
- Require explicit region names except in functions.
- Fix a bug in region parameterization inference. I've been putting this off because it will not be important when we remove RP inference in favor of explicit declarations, but then it was blocking this patch.

The basic idea is that we add a new kind of adjustment, AutoAddEnv, that pads
an extern fn into a closure by adding the extra NULL word. Then there are a few
misc changes in trans to get the LLVM types to match up.
Fixes#4808.
This removes all but 6 uses of `drop {}` from the entire codebase. Removing any of the remaining uses causes various non-trivial bugs; I'll start reporting them once this gets merged.
Major changes are:
- replace ~[ty_param] with Generics structure, which includes
both OptVec<TyParam> and OptVec<Lifetime>;
- the use of syntax::opt_vec to avoid allocation for empty lists;
