Let's avoid using two different terms for the same thing -- let's just call it "provenance" everywhere.
In Miri, provenance consists of an AllocId and an SbTag (Stacked Borrows tag), which made this even more confusing.
Moves our projection handling code into a common file, and avoids the use of a
general mplace-based fallback function by have more specialized implementations.
mplace_index (and the other slice-related functions) could be more efficient by
copy-pasting the body of operand_index. Or we could do some trait magic to share
the code between them. But for now this is probably fine.
Let CTFE to handle partially uninitialized unions without marking the entire value as uninitialized.
follow up to #94411
To fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/69488 and by extension fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/94371, we should stop treating types like `MaybeUninit<usize>` as something that the `Scalar` type in the interpreter engine can represent. So we add a new field to `abi::Primitive` that records whether the primitive is nested in a union
