Eli Friedman 0eea0f6e90 Allow writing types which "can't" be instantiated.
The borrow checker doesn't allow constructing such a type at runtime
using safe code, but there isn't any reason to ban them in the type checker.

Included in this commit is an example of a neat static doubly-linked list.

Feature-gated under the static_recursion gate to be on the safe side, but
there are unlikely to be any reasons this shouldn't be turned on by
default.
