1034: HIR diagnostics API r=matklad a=matklad

This PR introduces diagnostics API for HIR, so we can now start issuing errors and warnings! Here are requirements that this solution aims to fulfill:

* structured diagnostics: rather than immediately rendering error to string, we provide a well-typed blob of data with error-description. These data is used by IDE to provide fixes
* open set diagnostics: there's no single enum with all possible diagnostics, which hopefully should result in better modularity

The `Diagnostic` trait describes "a diagnostic", which can be downcast to a specific diagnostic kind. Diagnostics are expressed in terms of macro-expanded syntax tree: they store pointers to syntax nodes. Diagnostics are self-contained: you don't need any context, besides `db`, to fully understand the meaning of a diagnostic. 

Because diagnostics are tied to the source, we can't store them in salsa. So subsystems like type-checking produce subsystem-local diagnostic (which is a closed `enum`), which is expressed in therms of subsystem IR. A separate step converts these proto-diagnostics into `Diagnostic`, by merging them with source-maps.

Note that this PR stresses type-system quite a bit: we now type-check every function in open files to compute errors!
