[6/n] rustc: transition HIR function bodies from Block to Expr.
_This is part of a series ([prev](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37408) | [next](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37676)) 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._

The main change here is that functions and closures both use `Expr` instead of `Block` for their bodies.
For closures this actually allows a honest representation of brace-less closure bodies, e.g. `|x| x + 1` is now distinguishable from `|x| { x + 1 }`, therefore this PR is `[syntax-breaking]` (cc @Manishearth).
Using `Expr` allows more logic to be shared between constant bodies and function bodies, with some small such changes already part of this PR, and eventually easing #35078 and per-body type tables.
Incidentally, there used to be some corners cut here and there and as such I had to (re)write divergence tracking for type-checking so that it is capable of understanding basic structured control-flow:
``` rust
fn a(x: bool) -> i32 {
// match also works (as long as all arms diverge)
if x { panic!("true") } else { return 1; }
0 // "unreachable expression" after this PR
}
```
And since liveness' "not all control paths return a value" moved to type-checking we can have nice things:
``` rust
// before & after:
fn b() -> i32 { 0; } // help: consider removing this semicolon
// only after this PR
fn c() -> i32 { { 0; } } // help: consider removing this semicolon
fn d() { let x: i32 = { 0; }; } // help: consider removing this semicolon
fn e() { f({ 0; }); } // help: consider removing this semicolon
```
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).
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.
Attribute drop code to block's closing brace, instead of the line where the allocation was done.
Attribute function epilogues to function body's closing brace, rather than the function header.
stop having identity casts be lexprs
that made no sense (see test), and was incompatible with borrowck.
Fixes#36936.
beta-nominated since (bad) regression.

Refactor away RBML from rustc_metadata.
RBML and `ty{en,de}code` have had their long-overdue purge. Summary of changes:
* Metadata is now a tree encoded in post-order and with relative backward references pointing to children nodes. With auto-deriving and type safety, this makes maintenance and adding new information to metadata painless and bug-free by default. It's also more compact and cache-friendly (cache misses should be proportional to the depth of the node being accessed, not the number of siblings as in EBML/RBML).
* Metadata sizes have been reduced, for `libcore` it went down 16% (`8.38MB` -> `7.05MB`) and for `libstd` 14% (`3.53MB` -> `3.03MB`), while encoding more or less the same information
* Specialization is used in the bundled `libserialize` (crates.io `rustc_serialize` remains unaffected) to customize the encoding (and more importantly, decoding) of various types, most notably those interned in the `TyCtxt`. Some of this abuses a soundness hole pending a fix (cc @aturon), but when that fix arrives, we'll move to macros 1.1 `#[derive]` and custom `TyCtxt`-aware serialization traits.
* Enumerating children of modules from other crates is now orthogonal to describing those items via `Def` - this is a step towards bridging crate-local HIR and cross-crate metadata
* `CrateNum` has been moved to `rustc` and both it and `NodeId` are now newtypes instead of `u32` aliases, for specializing their decoding. This is `[syntax-breaking]` (cc @Manishearth ).
