the behavior of the type system not only depends on the current
assumptions, but also the currentnphase of the compiler. This is
mostly necessary as we need to decide whether and how to reveal
opaque types. We track this via the `TypingMode`.
Documents that `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom` models transmute-via-union,
which is slightly more expressive than the transmute-via-cast
implemented by `transmute_copy`. Additionally, we provide an
implementation of transmute-via-union as a method on the
`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom` trait with additional documentation on
the boundary between trait invariants and caller obligations.
Whether or not transmute-via-union is the right kind of transmute
to model remains up for discussion [1]. Regardless, it seems wise
to document the present behavior.

By splitting the `FnSig` within `TyKind::FnPtr` into `FnSigTys` and
`FnHeader`, which can be packed more efficiently. This reduces the size
of the hot `TyKind` type from 32 bytes to 24 bytes on 64-bit platforms.
This reduces peak memory usage by a few percent on some benchmarks. It
also reduces cache misses and page faults similarly, though this doesn't
translate to clear cycles or wall-time improvements on CI.
Only compute vtable information during codegen
This PR removes vtable information from the `Object` and `TraitUpcasting` candidate sources in the trait solvers, and defers the computation of relevant information to `Instance::resolve`. This is because vtables really aren't a thing in the trait world -- they're an implementation detail in codegen.
Previously it was just easiest to tangle this information together since we were already doing the work of looking at all the supertraits in the trait solver, and specifically because we use traits to represent when it's possible to call a method via a vtable (`Object` candidate) and do upcasting (`Unsize` candidate). but I am somewhat suspicious we're doing a *lot* of extra work, especially in polymorphic contexts, so let's see what perf says.
Using `Ord` to accomplish a meaning of subset relationship
can be hard to read. The existing uses for that are easily
replaced with a `match`, and in my opinion, more readable
without needing to resorting to comments to explain the
intention.
Assert that params with the same *index* have the same *name*
Found this bug when trying to build libcore with the new solver, since it will canonicalize two params with the same index into *different* placeholders if those params differ by name.
Do not normalize closure signature when building `FnOnce` shim
It is not necessary to normalize the closure signature when building an `FnOnce` shim for an `Fn`/`FnMut` closure. That closure shim is just calling `FnMut::call_mut(&mut self)` anyways.
It's also somewhat sketchy that we were ever doing this to begin with, since we're normalizing with a `ParamEnv::reveal_all()` param-env, which is definitely not right with possibly polymorphic substs.
This cuts out a tiny bit of unnecessary work in `Instance::resolve` and simplifies the signature because now we can unconditionally return an `Instance`.
