3dcd215740 Switch to purely namespaced enums
This breaks code that referred to variant names in the same namespace as
their enum. Reexport the variants in the old location or alter code to
refer to the new locations:

```
pub enum Foo {
    A,
    B
}

fn main() {
    let a = A;
}
```
=>
```
pub use self::Foo::{A, B};

pub enum Foo {
    A,
    B
}

fn main() {
    let a = A;
}
```
or
```
pub enum Foo {
    A,
    B
}

fn main() {
    let a = Foo::A;
}
```

b2eb88843d librustc: Disallow mutation and assignment in pattern guards, and modify
the CFG for match statements.

There were two bugs in issue #14684. One was simply that the borrow
check didn't know about the correct CFG for match statements: the
pattern must be a predecessor of the guard. This disallows the bad
behavior if there are bindings in the pattern. But it isn't enough to
prevent the memory safety problem, because of wildcards; thus, this
patch introduces a more restrictive rule, which disallows assignments
and mutable borrows inside guards outright.

I discussed this with Niko and we decided this was the best plan of
action.

This breaks code that performs mutable borrows in pattern guards. Most
commonly, the code looks like this:

    impl Foo {
        fn f(&mut self, ...) {}
        fn g(&mut self, ...) {
            match bar {
                Baz if self.f(...) => { ... }
                _ => { ... }
            }
        }
    }

Change this code to not use a guard. For example:

    impl Foo {
        fn f(&mut self, ...) {}
        fn g(&mut self, ...) {
            match bar {
                Baz => {
                    if self.f(...) {
                        ...
                    } else {
                        ...
                    }
                }
                _ => { ... }
            }
        }
    }

Sometimes this can result in code duplication, but often it illustrates
a hidden memory safety problem.

Closes #14684.
