Lazy compilation has the potential to significantly improve the startup
time of a program. While functions have to be codegened when called, it
is expected that a significant amount of all code is only required when
an error occurs or only when the program is used in certain ways.
The basic approach is to first codegen a shim for each function. This
shim calls the `__cg_clif_jit` function of cg_clif with a pointer to the
`Instance` corresponding to the function for which it is a shim.
`__cg_clif_jit` function then codegens this function and uses the hot
code swapping support of SimpleJIT to redirect future calls to the
function to the real version. Finally it calls the newly codegened
function.
Move binder for dyn to each list item
This essentially changes `ty::Binder<&'tcx List<ExistentialTraitRef>>` to `&'tcx List<ty::Binder<ExistentialTraitRef>>`.
This is a first step in moving the `dyn Trait` representation closer to Chalk, which we've talked about in `@rust-lang/wg-traits.`

This commit makes minor changes to the cranelift backend so that it can
build given changes in cg_ssa for Split DWARF.

Rename `optin_builtin_traits` to `auto_traits`
They were originally called "opt-in, built-in traits" (OIBITs), but
people realized that the name was too confusing and a mouthful, and so
they were renamed to just "auto traits". The feature flag's name wasn't
updated, though, so that's what this PR does.
There are some other spots in the compiler that still refer to OIBITs,
but I don't think changing those now is worth it since they are internal
and not particularly relevant to this PR.
