Introduce `ConstAllocation`. Currently some `Allocation`s are interned, some are not, and it's very hard to tell at a use point which is which. This commit introduces `ConstAllocation` for the known-interned ones, which makes the division much clearer. `ConstAllocation::inner()` is used to get the underlying `Allocation`. In some places it's natural to use an `Allocation`, in some it's natural to use a `ConstAllocation`, and in some places there's no clear choice. I've tried to make things look as nice as possible, while generally favouring `ConstAllocation`, which is the type that embodies more information. This does require quite a few calls to `inner()`. The commit also tweaks how `PartialOrd` works for `Interned`. The previous code was too clever by half, building on `T: Ord` to make the code shorter. That caused problems with deriving `PartialOrd` and `Ord` for `ConstAllocation`, so I changed it to build on `T: PartialOrd`, which is slightly more verbose but much more standard and avoided the problems. r? `@fee1-dead` |

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.
