We can (and will) support analyzing the transmutability of types
whose layouts aren't completely specified by its repr. This change
ensures that the error messages remain sensible after this support
lands.
- Make sure that the most specific Reason is the one that bubbles up when we
are folding over the `Answer` tree. `Reason::DstIsBitIncompatible` is the
least specific, so that should be used only when there isn't anything else
available.
- Small fixes where we used the wrong Reason variant.
- Tiny cleanups
This patch enables support for references in Safe Transmute, by generating
nested obligations during trait selection. Specifically, when we call
`confirm_transmutability_candidate(...)`, we now recursively traverse the
`rustc_transmute::Answer` tree and create obligations for all the `Answer`
variants, some of which include multiple nested `Answer`s.
Also, to handle recursive types, enable support for coinduction for the Safe
Transmute trait (`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom`) by adding the `#[rustc_coinduction]`
annotation.
Also fix some small logic issues when reducing the `or` and `and` combinations
in `rustc_transmute`, so that we don't end up with additional redundant
`Answer`s in the tree.

This patch updates the error reporting when Safe Transmute is not
possible between 2 types by including the reason.
Also, fix some small bugs that occur when computing the `Answer` for
transmutability.
