This allows you to enable *all* nested visits in a future-compatible
sort of way. Moreover, if you choose to override the `visit_nested`
methods yourself, you can "future-proof" against omissions by overriding
`nested_visit_map` to panic.
[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._
<hr>
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
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/33627
r? @nikomatsakis
Diagnostics for struct path resolution errors in resolve and typeck are unified.
Self type is treated as a type alias in few places (not reachable yet).
Unsafe cell is seen in constants even through type aliases.
All checks for struct paths in typeck work on type level.
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 `()`.
