Initially MIR differentiated between arguments and locals, which
introduced a need to add extra copies assigning the argument to a
local, even for simple bindings. This differentiation no longer exists,
but we're still creating those copies, bloating the MIR and LLVM IR we
emit.
Additionally, the current approach means that we create debug info for
both the incoming argument (marking it as an argument), and then
immediately shadow it a local that goes by the same name. This can be
confusing when using e.g. "info args" in gdb, or when e.g. a debugger
with a GUI displays the function arguments separately from the local
variables, especially when the binding is mutable, because the argument
doesn't change, while the local variable does.
Modify MIR testing to require consecutive lines
MIR testing now requires that lines be consecutive. To achive this,
instead of collecting the expected mir as a string, it is now wrapped in
an `ExpectedLine` enum, that is either `Elision` or `Text(T)` where `T:
AsRef<str>`. `Text` lines must be matched in order, unless separated by
`Elision` lines. Elision occurs lazily, that is, an Elision will skip
as few lines as possible.
To add a new elision marker. Put a comment containing only "..." and
whitespace in any MIR testing block. Like so:
```
// fn write_42(_1: *mut i32) -> bool {
// ...
// bb0: {
// Validate(Acquire, [_1: *mut i32]);
// Validate(Release, [_1: *mut i32]);
// ...
// return;
// }
// }
```
Right now, all input before the line right after `// START` is elided,
and all input after the line right before `// END` is also not tested.
Many tests need to be updated. That will follow in the next commit.
