The primary purpose of this PR is to add blanket impls for the `Fn` traits of the following (simplified) form:
impl<F:Fn> Fn for &F
impl<F:FnMut> FnMut for &mut F
However, this wound up requiring two changes:
1. A slight hack so that `x()` where `x: &mut F` is translated to `FnMut::call_mut(&mut *x, ())` vs `FnMut::call_mut(&mut x, ())`. This is achieved by just autoderef'ing one time when calling something whose type is `&F` or `&mut F`.
2. Making the infinite recursion test in trait matching a bit more tailored. This involves adding a notion of "matching" types that looks to see if types are potentially unifiable (it's an approximation).
The PR also includes various small refactorings to the inference code that are aimed at moving the unification and other code into a library (I've got that particular change in a branch, these changes just lead the way there by removing unnecessary dependencies between the compiler and the more general unification code).
Note that per rust-lang/rfcs#1023, adding impls like these would be a breaking change in the future.
