add flags to InternedTy and InternedRegion types

[nikomatsakis]

In rustc, we have a "flags" system that propagates information about a type upward and which can be used to shortcircuit a lot of work. The [TypeFlags] propagates various bits. Each time a type is interned, the flags from any subtypes are combined to form the flags for the new interned type. This allows us to do things like skip subtrees that don't contain the sort of thing we are looking for efficiently.

In the meeting today we discussed different ways of doing this. I'll add a comment with more notes.

What do we need flags for on lifetimes? In rustc, there are only flags on types, I thought?

Definition in rustc: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/a9cd294cf2775441e713c7ee2918b728733b99f5/compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/mod.rs#L501

Going to mark this as a good first issue, since this should be fairly straightforward.

I don't think that a flags field makes much sense on lifetimes, because they're fairly fast to compute directly (just a match).
There are also flags on Predicate in rustc.

I've started working on this.
