introduce canonical queries, use for normalization and dropck-outlives
This branch adds in the concept of a **canonicalized trait query** and uses it for three specific operations:
- `infcx.at(cause, param_env).normalize(type_foldable)`
- normalizes all associated types in `type_foldable`
- `tcx.normalize_erasing_regions(param_env, type_foldable)`
- like normalize, but erases regions first and in the result; this leads to better caching
- `infcx.at(cause, param_env).dropck_outlives(ty)`
- produces the set of types that must be live when a value of type `ty` is dropped
- used from dropck but also NLL outlives
This is a kind of "first step" towards a more Chalk-ified approach. It leads to a **big** speedup for NLL, which is basically dominated by the dropck-outlives computation. Here are some timing measurements for the `syn` crate (pre-branch measurements coming soon):
| Commit | NLL disabled | NLL enabled |
| ------- | --- | --- |
| Before my branch | 5.43s | 8.99s |
| After my branch | 5.36s | 7.25s |
(Note that NLL enabled still does *all the work* that NLL disabled does, so this is not really a way to compare the performance of NLL versus the AST-based borrow checker directly.) Since this affects all codepaths, I'd like to do a full perf run before we land anything.
Also, this is not the "final point" for canonicalization etc. I think canonicalization can be made substantially faster, for one thing. But it seems like a reasonable starting point for a branch that's gotten a bit larger than I would have liked.
**Commit convention:** First of all, this entire branch ought to be a "pure refactoring", I believe, not changing anything about external behavior. Second, I've tagged the most important commits with `[VIC]` (very important commit), so you can scan for those. =)
