pattern_analysis: rework how we hide empty private fields
Consider this:
```rust
mod foo {
pub struct Bar {
pub a: bool,
b: !,
}
}
fn match_a_bar(bar: foo::Bar) -> bool {
match bar {
Bar { a, .. } => a,
}
}
```
Because the field `b` is private, matches outside the module are not allowed to observe the fact that `Bar` is empty. In particular `match bar {}` is valid within the module `foo` but an error outside (assuming `exhaustive_patterns`).
We currently handle this by hiding the field `b` when it's both private and empty. This means that the pattern `Bar { a, .. }` is lowered to `Bar(a, _)` if we're inside of `foo` and to `Bar(a)` outside. This involves a bit of a dance to keep field indices straight. But most importantly this makes pattern lowering depend on the module.
In this PR, I instead do nothing special when lowering. Only during analysis do we track whether a place must be skipped.

pattern_analysis: Gracefully abort on type incompatibility
This leaves the option for a consumer of the crate to return `Err` instead of panicking on type error. rust-analyzer could use that (e.g. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-analyzer/issues/15808).
Since the only use of `TypeCx::bug` is in `Constructor::is_covered_by`, it is tempting to return `false` instead of `Err()`, but that would cause "non-exhaustive match" false positives.

Exhaustiveness: simplify empty pattern logic
The logic that handles empty patterns had gotten quite convoluted. This PR simplifies it a lot. I tried to make the logic as easy as possible to follow; this only does logically equivalent changes.
The first commit is a drive-by comment clarification that was requested after another PR a while back.

Make exhaustiveness usable outside of rustc
With this PR, `rustc_pattern_analysis` compiles on stable (with the `stable` feature)! `rust-analyzer` will be able to use it to provide match-related diagnostics and refactors.
Two questions:
- Should I name the feature `nightly` instead of `rustc` for consistency with other crates? `rustc` makes more sense imo.
- `typed-arena` is an optional dependency but tidy made me add it to the allow-list anyway. Can I avoid that somehow?
