It makes it sound like the `ExprKind` and `Rvalue` are supposed to represent all pointer related
casts, when in reality their just used to share a some enum variants. Make it clear there these
are only coercion to make it clear why only some pointer related "casts" are in the enum.
[libs] Simplify `unchecked_{shl,shr}`
There's no need for the `const_eval_select` dance here. And while I originally wrote the `.try_into().unwrap_unchecked()` implementation here, it's kinda a mess in MIR -- this new one is substantially simpler, as shown by the old one being above the inlining threshold but the new one being below it in the `mir-opt/inline/unchecked_shifts` tests.
We don't need `u32::checked_shl` doing a dance through both `Result` *and* `Option` 🙃
Remove `box_free` lang item
This PR removes the `box_free` lang item, replacing it with `Box`'s `Drop` impl. Box dropping is still slightly magic because the contained value is still dropped by the compiler.

To reproduce the changes in this commit locally:
- Run `./x test tidy` and remove all the output files not associated
with a test file anymore, as reported by tidy.
- Run `./x test tests/mir-opt --bless` to generate the new outputs.
MIR: opt-in normalization of `BasicBlock` and `Local` numbering
This doesn't matter at all for actual codegen, but after spending some time reading pre-codegen MIR, I was wishing I didn't have to jump around so much in reading post-inlining code.
So this add two passes that are off by default for every mir level, but can be enabled (`-Zmir-enable-passes=+ReorderBasicBlocks,+ReorderLocals`) for humans.
Since this only affects `PreCodegen MIR, and it would be nice for that to be resilient to permutations of things that don't affect the actual semantic behaviours.
Remove the size of locals heuristic in MIR inlining
This heuristic doesn't necessarily correlate to complexity of the MIR Body. In particular, a lot of straight-line code in MIR tends to never reuse a local, even though any optimizer would effectively reuse the storage or just put everything in registers. So it doesn't even necessarily make sense that this would be a stack size heuristic.
So... what happens if we just delete the heuristic? The benchmark suite improves significantly. Less heuristics better?
