According to the LLVM reference:
> A value of 0 or an omitted align argument means that the operation has
the ABI alignment for the target.
So loads/stores of fields of packed structs need to have their align set
to 1. Implement that by tracking the alignment of `LvalueRef`s.
Fixes#39376.
Fix transmute::<T, U> where T requires a bigger alignment than U
For transmute::<T, U> we simply pointercast the destination from a U
pointer to a T pointer, without providing any alignment information,
thus LLVM assumes that the destination is aligned to hold a value of
type T, which is not necessarily true. This can lead to LLVM emitting
machine instructions that assume said alignment, and thus cause aborts.
To fix this, we need to provide the actual alignment to store_operand()
and in turn to store() so they can set the proper alignment information
on the stores and LLVM can emit the proper machine instructions.
Fixes#32947

This commit introduces 128-bit integers. Stage 2 builds and produces a working compiler which
understands and supports 128-bit integers throughout.
The general strategy used is to have rustc_i128 module which provides aliases for iu128, equal to
iu64 in stage9 and iu128 later. Since nowhere in rustc we rely on large numbers being supported,
this strategy is good enough to get past the first bootstrap stages to end up with a fully working
128-bit capable compiler.
In order for this strategy to work, number of locations had to be changed to use associated
max_value/min_value instead of MAX/MIN constants as well as the min_value (or was it max_value?)
had to be changed to use xor instead of shift so both 64-bit and 128-bit based consteval works
(former not necessarily producing the right results in stage1).
This commit includes manual merge conflict resolution changes from a rebase by @est31.
This is a spiritual succesor to #34268/8531d581, in which we replaced a
number of matches of None to the unit value with `if let` conditionals
where it was judged that this made for clearer/simpler code (as would be
recommended by Manishearth/rust-clippy's `single_match` lint). The same
rationale applies to matches of None to the empty block.
