This replaces the ad-hoc tuples used in the different feature gate files
and unifies their content into a common type, leading to more readable
matches and other good stuff that comes from having named fields. It

typeck: refactor patterns => `pat.rs` + make the `def_bm` algo more declarative
Spurred by the relative difficulty I had in working up an explanation of how default match bindings work in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/63118#issuecomment-524161584, this PR refactors the type checking of patterns into `pat.rs`.
The PR is probably best read commit-by-commit and includes various changes beyond the following, which are the most important highlights:
- The algorithm for determining `def_bm` is encoded in a more declarative fashion now with important sub-steps divided into functions that make sense as logical units (and as described in the reference). This is done starting with *"extract `is_no_ref_pat`."* to *"extract `calc_default_binding_mode`"*.
- Dedicated functions like `check_pat_{lit,range,ident,tuple,box,ref,slice}` are then introduced for the various kinds of patterns to make things overall more readable.
- `fn check_pat_top(...)` becomes the sole entry point to type checking patterns.
This will take care of initializing the default binding mode (hence: `def_bm`) to `BindByValue` and is called by all contexts that have a pattern that needs to be type checked (functions, `match`, `if let`, `let`, ...). The overall result is that the notion of `def_bm` is internal to checking patterns.
- Various diagnostics are extracted to dedicated functions to disturb the flow of type checking logic less.
