Instead, we store just the local crate hash as a bare u64. On decoding,
we recombine it with the crate's stable crate ID stored separately in
metadata. The end result is that we save ~8 bytes/DefIndex in metadata
size.
One key detail here is that we no longer distinguish in encoded metadata
between present and non-present DefPathHashes. It used to be highly
likely we could distinguish as we used DefPathHash::default(), an
all-zero representation. However in theory even that is fallible as
nothing strictly prevents the StableCrateId from being zero.
