This PR allows the constant evaluation of index operations on constant arrays and repeat expressions. This allows index expressions to appear in the expression path of the length expression of a repeat expression or an array type.
An example is
```rust
const ARR: [usize; 5] = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5];
const ARR2: [usize; ARR[1]] = [42, 99];
```
In most other locations llvm's const evaluator figures it out already. This is not specific to index expressions and could be remedied in the future.

[breaking-change], needs crater run (cc @brson or @alexcrichton )
The pattern with parens `UnitVariant(..)` for unit variants seems to be popular in rustc (see the second commit), but mostly used by one person (@nikomatsakis), according to git blame. If it causes breakage on crates.io I'll add an exceptional case for it.
Since fat pointers do not qualify as structural types, they got copied
using load_ty and store_ty, which means that we load an FCA and use
extractvalue to get the components of the fat pointer. This breaks
certain optimizations in LLVM.

This prevents outputting csv files with the same name and thus overwriting each other when indexing Cargo projects with a bin crate (and some other cases).
Corresponds directly to llvm's inline-threshold.
I want this so I can experiment out-of-tree with tweaking optimization settings, and this is the most important value that isn't exposed. I can't get it to work either via `-C llvm-args`.

encounter each module. This is somewhat different than how it used to
work; it should ensure a more equitable distribution of work than
before. The reason is that, before, when we rotated, we would rotate
before we had seen the full contents of the current module. So e.g. if
we have `mod a { mod b { .. } .. }`, then we rotate when we encounter
`b`, but we haven't processed the remainder of `a` yet. Unclear if this
makes any difference in practice, but it seemed suboptimal. Also, this
structure (with an outer walk over modules) is closer to what we will
want for an incremental setting.
noteworthy because trans got mildly simpler, since it doesn't have to
ensure that we walk the contents of all things just to find all the
hidden items.
