The `ty` function in code_model returned the type with placeholders for type
parameters. That's nice for printing, but not good for completion, because
placeholders won't unify with anything else: So the type we got for `HashMap`
was `HashMap<K, V, T>`, which doesn't unify with `HashMap<?, ?, RandomState>`,
so the `new` method wasn't shown.
Now we instead return `HashMap<{unknown}, {unknown}, {unknown}>`, which does
unify with the impl type. Maybe we should just expose this properly as variables
though, i.e. we'd return something like `exists<type, type, type> HashMap<?0,
?1, ?2>` (in Chalk notation). It'll make the API more complicated, but harder to
misuse. (And it would handle cases like `type TypeAlias<T> = HashMap<T, T>` more
correctly.)
3513: Completion in macros r=matklad a=flodiebold
I experimented a bit with completion in macros. It's kind of working, but there are a lot of rough edges.
- I'm trying to expand the macro call with the inserted fake token. This requires some hacky additions on the HIR level to be able to do "hypothetical" expansions. There should probably be a nicer API for this, if we want to do it this way. I'm not sure whether it's worth it, because we still can't do a lot if the original macro call didn't expand in nearly the same way. E.g. if we have something like `println!("", x<|>)` the expansions will look the same and everything is fine; but in that case we could maybe have achieved the same result in a simpler way. If we have something like `m!(<|>)` where `m!()` doesn't even expand or expands to something very different, we don't really know what to do anyway.
- Relatedly, there are a lot of cases where this doesn't work because either the original call or the hypothetical call doesn't expand. E.g. if we have `m!(x.<|>)` the original token tree doesn't parse as an expression; if we have `m!(match x { <|> })` the hypothetical token tree doesn't parse. It would be nice if we could have better error recovery in these cases.

This introduces the new type -- Semantics.
Semantics maps SyntaxNodes to various semantic info, such as type,
name resolution or macro expansions.
To do so, Semantics maintains a HashMap which maps every node it saw
to the file from which the node originated. This is enough to get all
the necessary hir bits just from syntax.
