Add offset_of! macro (RFC 3308)
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3308 (tracking issue #106655) by adding the built in macro `core::mem::offset_of`. Two of the future possibilities are also implemented:
* Nested field accesses (without array indexing)
* DST support (for `Sized` fields)
I wrote this a few months ago, before the RFC merged. Now that it's merged, I decided to rebase and finish it.

As I've been trying to replace a `Vec` with an `IndexVec`, having `last` exist on both but returning very different types makes the transition a bit awkward -- the errors are later, where you get things like "there's no `ty` method on `mir::Field`" rather than a more localized error like "hey, there's no `last` on `IndexVec`".
So I propose renaming `last` to `last_index` to help distinguish `Vec::last`, which returns an element, and `IndexVec::last_index`, which returns an index.
(Similarly, `Iterator::last` also returns an element, not an index.)
(This is a large commit. The changes to
`compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/context.rs` are the most important ones.)
The current naming scheme is a mess, with a mix of `_intern_`, `intern_`
and `mk_` prefixes, with little consistency. In particular, in many
cases it's easy to use an iterator interner when a (preferable) slice
interner is available.
The guiding principles of the new naming system:
- No `_intern_` prefixes.
- The `intern_` prefix is for internal operations.
- The `mk_` prefix is for external operations.
- For cases where there is a slice interner and an iterator interner,
the former is `mk_foo` and the latter is `mk_foo_from_iter`.
Also, `slice_interners!` and `direct_interners!` can now be `pub` or
non-`pub`, which helps enforce the internal/external operations
division.
It's not perfect, but I think it's a clear improvement.
The following lists show everything that was renamed.

This makes it possible to mutably borrow different fields of the MIR
body without resorting to methods like `basic_blocks_local_decls_mut_and_var_debug_info`.
To preserve validity of control flow graph caches in the presence of
modifications, a new struct `BasicBlocks` wraps together basic blocks
and control flow graph caches.
The `BasicBlocks` dereferences to `IndexVec<BasicBlock, BasicBlockData>`.
On the other hand a mutable access requires explicit `as_mut()` call.
And likewise for the `Const::val` method.
Because its type is called `ConstKind`. Also `val` is a confusing name
because `ConstKind` is an enum with seven variants, one of which is
called `Value`. Also, this gives consistency with `TyS` and `PredicateS`
which have `kind` fields.
The commit also renames a few `Const` variables from `val` to `c`, to
avoid confusion with the `ConstKind::Value` variant.
