Refactor variance diagnostics to work with more types Instead of special-casing mutable pointers/references, we now support general generic types (currently, we handle `ty::Ref`, `ty::RawPtr`, and `ty::Adt`) When a `ty::Adt` is involved, we show an additional note explaining which of the type's generic parameters is invariant (e.g. the `T` in `Cell<T>`). Currently, we don't explain *why* a particular generic parameter ends up becoming invariant. In the general case, this could require printing a long 'backtrace' of types, so doing this would be more suitable for a follow-up PR. We still only handle the case where our variance switches to `ty::Invariant`.

- The test suite
- The bootstrapping build system
- Various submodules for tools, like rustdoc, rls, etc.
