Exhaustive integer matching
This adds a new feature flag `exhaustive_integer_patterns` that enables exhaustive matching of integer types by their values. For example, the following is now accepted:
```rust
#![feature(exhaustive_integer_patterns)]
#![feature(exclusive_range_pattern)]
fn matcher(x: u8) {
match x { // ok
0 .. 32 => { /* foo */ }
32 => { /* bar */ }
33 ..= 255 => { /* baz */ }
}
}
```
This matching is permitted on all integer (signed/unsigned and char) types. Sensible error messages are also provided. For example:
```rust
fn matcher(x: u8) {
match x { //~ ERROR
0 .. 32 => { /* foo */ }
}
}
```
results in:
```
error[E0004]: non-exhaustive patterns: `32u8...255u8` not covered
--> matches.rs:3:9
|
6 | match x {
| ^ pattern `32u8...255u8` not covered
```
This implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/issues/1550 for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/50907. While there hasn't been a full RFC for this feature, it was suggested that this might be a feature that obviously complements the existing exhaustiveness checks (e.g. for `bool`) and so a feature gate would be sufficient for now.
