[9/n] rustc: move type information out of AdtDef and TraitDef.
_This is part of a series ([prev](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37688) | [next]()) of patches designed to rework rustc into an out-of-order on-demand pipeline model for both better feature support (e.g. [MIR-based](https://github.com/solson/miri) early constant evaluation) and incremental execution of compiler passes (e.g. type-checking), with beneficial consequences to IDE support as well.
If any motivation is unclear, please ask for additional PR description clarifications or code comments._
<hr>
Both `AdtDef` and `TraitDef` contained type information (field types, generics and predicates) which was required to create them, preventing their use before that type information exists, or in the case of field types, *mutation* was required, leading to a variance-magicking implementation of `ivar`s.
This PR takes that information out and the resulting cleaner setup could even eventually end up merged with HIR, because, just like `AssociatedItem` before it, there's no dependency on types anymore.
(With one exception, variant discriminants should probably be moved into their own map later.)
rustdoc: link to cross-crate sources directly.
Fixes#37684 by implementing proper support for getting the `Span` of definitions across crates.
In rustdoc this is used to generate direct links to the original source instead of fragile redirects.
This functionality could be expanded further for making error reporting code more uniform and seamless across crates, although at the moment there is no actual source to print, only file/line/column information.
Closes#37870 which is also "fixes" #37684 by throwing away the builtin macro docs from libcore.
After this lands, #37727 could be reverted, although it doesn't matter much either way.
Refactor TraitObject to Slice<ExistentialPredicate>
For reference, the primary types changes in this PR are shown below. They may add in the understanding of what is discussed below, though they should not be required.
We change `TraitObject` into a list of `ExistentialPredicate`s to allow for a couple of things:
- Principal (ExistentialPredicate::Trait) is now optional.
- Region bounds are moved out of `TraitObject` into `TyDynamic`. This permits wrapping only the `ExistentialPredicate` list in `Binder`.
- `BuiltinBounds` and `BuiltinBound` are removed entirely from the codebase, to permit future non-constrained auto traits. These are replaced with `ExistentialPredicate::AutoTrait`, which only requires a `DefId`. For the time being, only `Send` and `Sync` are supported; this constraint can be lifted in a future pull request.
- Binder-related logic is extracted from `ExistentialPredicate` into the parent (`Binder<Slice<EP>>`), so `PolyX`s are inside `TraitObject` are replaced with `X`.
The code requires a sorting order for `ExistentialPredicate`s in the interned `Slice`. The sort order is asserted to be correct during interning, but the slices are not sorted at that point.
1. `ExistentialPredicate::Trait` are defined as always equal; **This may be wrong; should we be comparing them and sorting them in some way?**
1. `ExistentialPredicate::Projection`: Compared by `ExistentialProjection::sort_key`.
1. `ExistentialPredicate::AutoTrait`: Compared by `TraitDef.def_path_hash`.
Construction of `ExistentialPredicate`s is conducted through `TyCtxt::mk_existential_predicates`, which interns a passed iterator as a `Slice`. There are no convenience functions to construct from a set of separate iterators; callers must pass an iterator chain. The lack of convenience functions is primarily due to few uses and the relative difficulty in defining a nice API due to optional parts and difficulty in recognizing which argument goes where. It is also true that the current situation isn't significantly better than 4 arguments to a constructor function; but the extra work is deemed unnecessary as of this time.
```rust
// before this PR
struct TraitObject<'tcx> {
pub principal: PolyExistentialTraitRef<'tcx>,
pub region_bound: &'tcx ty::Region,
pub builtin_bounds: BuiltinBounds,
pub projection_bounds: Vec<PolyExistentialProjection<'tcx>>,
}
// after
pub enum ExistentialPredicate<'tcx> {
// e.g. Iterator
Trait(ExistentialTraitRef<'tcx>),
// e.g. Iterator::Item = T
Projection(ExistentialProjection<'tcx>),
// e.g. Send
AutoTrait(DefId),
}
```
Fix syntax error in the compiler
Currently `rustc` accepts the following code: `fn f<'a>() where 'a {}`. This should be a syntax error, shouldn't it?
Not sure if my changes actually compile, waiting for the LLVM to build.
Translate closures through the collector
Now that old trans is gone, there is no need for the hack of translating closures when they are instantiated. We can translate them like regular items.

Replace FNV with a faster hash function.
Hash table lookups are very hot in rustc profiles and the time taken within `FnvHash` itself is a big part of that. Although FNV is a simple hash, it processes its input one byte at a time. In contrast, Firefox has a homespun hash function that is also simple but works on multiple bytes at a time. So I tried it out and the results are compelling:
```

```
(That's a stage1 compiler doing debug builds. Results for a stage2 compiler are similar.)
The attached commit is not in a state suitable for landing because I changed the implementation of FnvHasher without changing its name (because that would have required touching many lines in the compiler). Nonetheless, it is a good place to start discussions.
Profiles show very clearly that this new hash function is a lot faster to compute than FNV. The quality of the new hash function is less clear -- it seems to do better in some cases and worse in others (judging by the number of instructions executed in `Hash{Map,Set}::get`).

Stabilize `..` in tuple (struct) patterns
I'd like to nominate `..` in tuple and tuple struct patterns for stabilization.
This feature is a relatively small extension to existing stable functionality and doesn't have known blockers.
The feature first appeared in Rust 1.10 6 months ago.
An example of use: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36203

[5/n] rustc: record the target type of every adjustment.
_This is part of a series ([prev](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37404) | [next](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37412)) of patches designed to rework rustc into an out-of-order on-demand pipeline model for both better feature support (e.g. [MIR-based](https://github.com/solson/miri) early constant evaluation) and incremental execution of compiler passes (e.g. type-checking), with beneficial consequences to IDE support as well.

<hr>
The first commit rearranges `tcx.tables` so that all users go through `tcx.tables()`. This in preparation for per-body `Tables` where they will be requested for a specific `DefId`. Included to minimize churn.
The rest of the changes focus on adjustments, there are some renamings, but the main addition is the target type, always available in all cases (as opposed to just for unsizing where it was previously needed).
Possibly the most significant effect of this change is that figuring out the final type of an expression is now _always_ just one successful `HashMap` lookup (either the adjustment or, if that doesn't exist, the node type).
Most of the Rust community agrees that the vec! macro is clearer when
called using square brackets [] instead of regular brackets (). Most of
these ocurrences are from before macros allowed using different types of
brackets.
There is one left unchanged in a pretty-print test, as the pretty
printer still wants it to have regular brackets.
Add ArrayVec and AccumulateVec to reduce heap allocations during interning of slices
Updates `mk_tup`, `mk_type_list`, and `mk_substs` to allow interning directly from iterators. The previous PR, #37220, changed some of the calls to pass a borrowed slice from `Vec` instead of directly passing the iterator, and these changes further optimize that to avoid the allocation entirely.
This change yields 50% less malloc calls in [some cases](https://pastebin.mozilla.org/8921686). It also yields decent, though not amazing, performance improvements:

We implement a small-size optimized vector, intended to be used primarily for collection of presumed to be short iterators. This vector cannot be "upsized/reallocated" into a heap-allocated vector, since that would require (slow) branching logic, but during the initial collection from an iterator heap-allocation is possible.
We make the new `AccumulateVec` and `ArrayVec` generic over implementors of the `Array` trait, of which there is currently one, `[T; 8]`. In the future, this is likely to expand to other values of N.
Huge thanks to @nnethercote for collecting the performance and other statistics mentioned above.
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?
