This branch implements a variant of trans that is based on MIR. It is very incomplete (intentionally), and had only the goal of laying out enough work to enable more incremental follow-on patches. Currently, only fns tagged with `#[rustc_mir]` use the new trans code. I plan to build up a meta-issue as well that tracks the various "not-yet-implemented" points. The only fn that has been tested so far is this amazingly complex "spike" fn:
```rust
#[rustc_mir]
fn sum(x: i32, y: i32) -> i32 {
x + y
}
```
In general, the most interesting commit is the last one. There are some points on which I would like feedback from @rust-lang/compiler:
- I did not use `Datum`. Originally, I thought that maybe just a `ValueRef` would be enough but I wound up with two very simple structures, `LvalueRef` and `OperandRef`, that just package up a `ValueRef` and a type. Because of MIR's structure, you don't wind up mixing by-ref and by-value so much, and I tend to think that a thinner abstraction layer is better here, but I'm not sure.
- Related to the above, I expect that sooner or later we will analyze temps (and maybe variables too) to find those whose address is never taken and which are word-sized and which perhaps meet a few other criteria. For those, we'll probably want to avoid the alloca, just because it means prettier code.
- I generally tried to re-use data structures from elsewhere in trans, though I'm sure we can trim these down.
- I didn't do any debuginfo primarily because it seems to want node-ids and we have only spans. I haven't really read into that code so I don't know what's going on there.

`resolve_identifier` used to mark a variable as an upvar when used within a closure. However, the function is also used for the "unnecessary qualification" lint, which would mark paths whose last component had the same name as a local as upvars.
Fixes#29522

I think this should fix the test failures in debug mode from #29492
The assertion was written incorrectly, and I don't like the way the new assertion is written, but I _think_ it does the right thing now.
A line may be indented with either spaces or tabs, but not a mix of both. If there is a mix of tabs and spaces, only the kind that occurs first is counted.
This addresses issue #29268.
`Rc::try_unwrap` and `Rc::make_mut` are stable since 1.4.0, but the example code still has `#![feature(rc_unique)]`. Ideally the stable and beta docs would be updated, but I don't think that's possible :(
According to a recent [discussion on IRC](https://botbot.me/mozilla/rust-tools/2015-10-27/?msg=52887517&page=2), there's no good reason for Windows builds to store target libraries under `bin`, when on every other platform they are under `lib`.
This might be a [breaking-change] for some users. I am pretty sure VisualRust has that path hard-coded somewhere.
