Infer consts more consistently
Moved some duplicated logic in `TypeRelation` methods into `super_combined_consts`. Before some `TypeRelation`s like `Lub` wasn't using `replace_if_possible`, meaning some inference types were staying around longer than they should be.

Cleanup syntax::ext::build
I suspect most of this code could be inlined but I only removed the bits where the inlining didn't really hurt readability (i.e., method call -> function call) or the completely unused code.
Fix `Stdio::piped` example code and lint
Summary:
Invoking `rev` does not add a trailing newline when none is present in
the input (at least on my Debian). Nearby examples use `echo` rather
than `rev`, which probably explains the source of the discrepancy.
Also, a `mut` qualifier is unused.
Test Plan:
Copy the code block into <https://play.rust-lang.org> with a `fn main`
wrapper, and run it. Note that it compiles and runs cleanly; prior to
this commit, it would emit an `unused_mut` warning and then panic.

Allow using fn pointers in const fn with unleash miri
This allows using function pointers in const fns when `-Zunleash-the-miri-within-you` is enabled.
If the call to the `const fn` happens in a `const`-context, the function pointer is required to point to a `const fn`:
```rust
fn non_const_fn() -> i32 { 42 }
const fn const_fn() -> i32 { 42 }
const fn foo(x: fn() -> i32) -> i32 { x() }
let x: i32 = foo(non_const_fn_ptr); // OK
let y: i32 = foo(const_fn_ptr); // OK
const X: i32 = foo(non_const_fn_ptr); // ERROR: `non_const_fn` is not `const fn`
const Y: i32 = foo(const_fn_ptr); // OK
```
