Rollup merge of #84752 - lrh2000:generator-debuginfo, r=tmandry
Fix debuginfo for generators

First, all fields except the discriminant (including `outer_fields`) should be put into structures inside the variant part, which gives an equivalent layout but offers us much better integration with debuggers.

Second, artificial flags in generator variants should be removed.
 - Literally, variants are not artificial. We have `yield` statements, upvars and inner variables in the source code.
 - Functionally, we don't want debuggers to suppress the variants. It contains the state of the generator, which is useful when debugging. So they shouldn't be marked artificial.
 - Debuggers may use artificial flags to find the active variant. In this case, marking variants artificial will make debuggers not work properly.

Fixes #62572.
Fixes #79009.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
