In #34268 (8531d581), we replaced matches of None to the unit value `()`
with `if let`s in places where it was deemed that this made the code
unambiguously clearer and more idiomatic. In #34638 (d37edef9), we did
the same for matches of None to the empty block `{}`.
A casual observer, upon seeing these commits fly by, might suppose that
the matter was then settled, that no further pull requests on this
utterly trivial point of style could or would be made. Unless ...
It turns out that sometimes people write the empty block with a space in
between the braces. Who knew?
The wording of RFC #495 enables moves out of slices. Unfortuantely, non-zeroing
moves out of slices introduce a very annoying complication: as slices can
vary in their length, indexes from the start and end may or may not overlap
depending on the slice's exact length, which prevents assigning a particular
drop flag for each individual element.
For example, in the code
```Rust
fn foo<T>(a: Box<[Box<[T]>]>, c: bool) -> T {
match (a, c) {
(box [box [t, ..], ..], true) => t,
(box [.., box [.., t]], false) => t,
_ => panic!()
}
}
```
If the condition is false, we have to drop the first element
of `a`, unless `a` has size 1 in which case we drop all the elements
of it but the last.
If someone comes with a nice way of handling it, we can always re-allow
moves out of slices.
This is a [breaking-change], but it is behind the `slice_patterns` feature
gate and was not allowed until recently.
Update lifetime errors to specifically note temporaries
This PR updates the error message we give in the case of a temporary value not living long enough.
Before:

Now:
<img width="488" alt="screen shot 2016-08-31 at 10 03 01 am" src="https://cloud.githubusercontent.com/assets/547158/18138557/2e5cf322-6f62-11e6-9047-4a78abf3d78c.png">
Specifically, it makes the following changes:
* Detects if a temporary is being used. If so, it changes the labels to mention that a temporary value specifically is in question
* Simplifies wording of the existing labels to focus on lifetimes rather than values being valid
* Changes the help to a note, since the help+span wasn't as helpful (and sometimes more confusing) than just a note.

rustc_borrowck: Don't hash types in loan paths
1) Types for equal loan paths are not always equal, they can sometimes differ in lifetimes, making equal loan paths hash differently.
Example:
71bdeea561/src/libcollections/linked_list.rs (L835-L856)
One of `self.list`s has type
```
&ReFree(CodeExtent(15013/CallSiteScope { fn_id: 18907, body_id: 18912 }), BrNamed(0:DefIndex(3066), 'a(397), WontChange)) mut linked_list::LinkedList<T>
```
and other has type
```
&ReScope(CodeExtent(15018/Remainder(BlockRemainder { block: 18912, first_statement_index: 0 }))) mut linked_list::LinkedList<T>
```
(... but I'm not sure it's not a bug actually.)
2) Not hashing types is faster than hashing types.

[MIR] track Location in MirVisitor, combine Location
All the users of MirVisitor::visit_statement implement their own statement index tracking. This PR move the tracking into MirVisitor itself.
Also, there were 2 separate implementations of Location that were identical. This PR eliminates one of them.
Move 'doesn't live long enough' errors to labels
This patch moves the "doesn't live long enough" region-style errors to instead use labels.
An example follows.
Before:
```
error: `x` does not live long enough
--> src/test/compile-fail/send-is-not-static-ensures-scoping.rs:26:18
|
26 | let y = &x;
| ^
|
note: reference must be valid for the block at 23:10...
--> src/test/compile-fail/send-is-not-static-ensures-scoping.rs:23:11
|
23 | fn main() {
| ^
note: ...but borrowed value is only valid for the block suffix following statement 0 at 25:18
--> src/test/compile-fail/send-is-not-static-ensures-scoping.rs:25:19
|
25 | let x = 1;
| ^
```
After:
```
error: `x` does not live long enough
--> src/test/compile-fail/send-is-not-static-ensures-scoping.rs:26:18
|
26 | let y = &x;
| ^ does not live long enough
...
32 | };
| - borrowed value only valid until here
...
35 | }
| - borrowed value must be valid until here
```

Implement the `!` type
This implements the never type (`!`) and hides it behind the feature gate `#[feature(never_type)]`. With the feature gate off, things should build as normal (although some error messages may be different). With the gate on, `!` is usable as a type and diverging type variables (ie. types that are unconstrained by anything in the code) will default to `!` instead of `()`.
[MIR] Add explicit SetDiscriminant StatementKind for deaggregating enums
cc #35186
To deaggregate enums, we need to be able to explicitly set the discriminant. This PR implements a new StatementKind that does that.
I think some of the places that have `panics!` now could maybe do something smarter.
