Remove type-traversal trait aliases
#107924 moved the type traversal (folding and visiting) traits into the type library, but created trait aliases in `rustc_middle` to minimise both the API churn for trait consumers and the arising boilerplate. As mentioned in that PR, an alternative approach of defining subtraits with blanket implementations of the respective supertraits was also considered at that time but was ruled out as not adding much value.
Unfortunately, it has since emerged that rust-analyzer has difficulty with these trait aliases at present, resulting in a degraded contributor experience (see the recent [r-a has become useless](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/182449-t-compiler.2Fhelp/topic/r-a.20has.20become.20useless) topic on the #t-compiler/help Zulip stream).
This PR removes the trait aliases, and accordingly the underlying type library traits are now used directly; they are parameterised by `TyCtxt<'tcx>` rather than just the `'tcx` lifetime, and imports have been updated to reflect the fact that the trait aliases' explicitly named traits are no longer automatically brought into scope. These changes also roll-back the (no-longer required) workarounds to #107747 that were made in

Cranelift codegen backend for rust
The goal of this project is to create an alternative codegen backend for the rust compiler based on Cranelift. This has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. If your project doesn't use any of the things listed under "Not yet supported", it should work fine. If not please open an issue.
Building and testing
$ git clone https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ cd rustc_codegen_cranelift
$ ./y.rs prepare
$ ./y.rs build
To run the test suite replace the last command with:
$ ./test.sh
For more docs on how to build and test see build_system/usage.txt or the help message of ./y.rs.
Alternatively you can download a pre built version from Github Actions. It is listed in the artifacts section of workflow runs. Unfortunately due to GHA restrictions you need to be logged in to access it.
Usage
rustc_codegen_cranelift can be used as a near-drop-in replacement for cargo build or cargo run for existing projects.
Assuming $cg_clif_dir is the directory you cloned this repo into and you followed the instructions (y.rs prepare and y.rs build or test.sh).
In the directory with your project (where you can do the usual cargo build), run:
$ $cg_clif_dir/dist/cargo-clif build
This will build your project with rustc_codegen_cranelift instead of the usual LLVM backend.
For additional ways to use rustc_codegen_cranelift like the JIT mode see usage.md.
Configuration
See the documentation on the BackendConfig struct in config.rs for all
configuration options.
