Custom MIR: Many more improvements
Commits are each atomic changes, best reviewed one at a time, with the exception that the last commit includes all the documentation.
### First commit
Unsafetyck was not correctly disabled before for `dialect = "built"` custom MIR. This is fixed and a regression test is added.
### Second commit
Implements `Discriminant`, `SetDiscriminant`, and `SwitchInt`.
### Third commit
Implements indexing, field, and variant projections.
### Fourth commit
Documents the previous commits and everything else.
There is some amount of weirdness here due to having to beat Rust syntax into cooperating with MIR concepts, but it hopefully should not be too much. All of it is documented.

`mk_const(ty::ConstKind::X(...), ty)` can now be simplified to
`mk_cosnt(..., ty)`.
I searched with the following regex: \mk_const\([\n\s]*(ty::)?ConstKind\
I've left `ty::ConstKind::{Bound, Error}` as-is, they seem clearer this
way.
Record `LocalDefId` in HIR nodes instead of a side table
This is part of an attempt to remove the `HirId -> LocalDefId` table from HIR.
This attempt is a prerequisite to creation of `LocalDefId` after HIR lowering (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/96840), by controlling how `def_id` information is accessed.
This first part adds the information to HIR nodes themselves instead of a table.
The second part is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103902
The third part will be to make `hir::Visitor::visit_fn` take a `LocalDefId` as last parameter.
The fourth part will be to completely remove the side table.
`codegen_switchint_terminator` already uses `br` instead of `switch`
when there is one normal target plus the `otherwise` target. But there's
another common case with two normal targets and an `otherwise` target
that points to an empty unreachable BB. This comes up a lot when
switching on the tags of enums that use niches.
The pattern looks like this:
```
bb1: ; preds = %bb6
%3 = load i8, ptr %_2, align 1, !range !9, !noundef !4
%4 = sub i8 %3, 2
%5 = icmp eq i8 %4, 0
%_6 = select i1 %5, i64 0, i64 1
switch i64 %_6, label %bb3 [
i64 0, label %bb4
i64 1, label %bb2
]
bb3: ; preds = %bb1
unreachable
```
This commit adds code to convert the `switch` to a `br`:
```
bb1: ; preds = %bb6
%3 = load i8, ptr %_2, align 1, !range !9, !noundef !4
%4 = sub i8 %3, 2
%5 = icmp eq i8 %4, 0
%_6 = select i1 %5, i64 0, i64 1
%6 = icmp eq i64 %_6, 0
br i1 %6, label %bb4, label %bb2
bb3: ; No predecessors!
unreachable
```
This has a surprisingly large effect on compile times, with reductions
of 5% on debug builds of some crates. The reduction is all due to LLVM
taking less time. Maybe LLVM is just much better at handling `br` than
`switch`.
The resulting code is still suboptimal.
- The `icmp`, `select`, `icmp` sequence is silly, converting an `i1` to an `i64`
and back to an `i1`. But with the current code structure it's hard to avoid,
and LLVM will easily clean it up, in opt builds at least.
- `bb3` is usually now truly dead code (though not always, so it can't
be removed universally).
Remove `mir::CastKind::Misc`
As discussed in #97649 `mir::CastKind::Misc` is not clear, this PR addresses that by creating a new enum variant for every valid cast.

Initial implementation of dyn*
This PR adds extremely basic and incomplete support for [dyn*](https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps//blog/2022/03/29/dyn-can-we-make-dyn-sized/). The goal is to get something in tree behind a flag to make collaboration easier, and also to make sure the implementation so far is not unreasonable. This PR does quite a few things:
* Introduce `dyn_star` feature flag
* Adds parsing for `dyn* Trait` types
* Defines `dyn* Trait` as a sized type
* Adds support for explicit casts, like `42usize as dyn* Debug`
* Including const evaluation of such casts
* Adds codegen for drop glue so things are cleaned up properly when a `dyn* Trait` object goes out of scope
* Adds codegen for method calls, at least for methods that take `&self`
Quite a bit is still missing, but this gives us a starting point. Note that this is never intended to become stable surface syntax for Rust, but rather `dyn*` is planned to be used as an implementation detail for async functions in dyn traits.
Joint work with `@nikomatsakis` and `@compiler-errors.`
