21b8815b6c Apply noalias, nonnull, dereferenceable, and align attributes unconditionally.
We've done measurements with Miri and have determined that `noalias` shouldn't
break code. The requirements that allow us to add dereferenceable and align
have been long documented in the standard library documentation.

f71741bac4 [rustc_ty_utils] Add the LLVM noalias parameter attribute to drop_in_place in certain cases.
LLVM can make use of the `noalias` parameter attribute on the parameter to
`drop_in_place` in areas like argument promotion. Because the Rust compiler
fully controls the code for `drop_in_place`, it can soundly deduce parameter
attributes on it. In the case of a value that has a programmer-defined Drop
implementation, we know that the first thing `drop_in_place` will do is pass a
pointer to the object to `Drop::drop`. `Drop::drop` takes `&mut`, so it must be
guaranteed that there are no pointers to the object upon entering that
function. Therefore, it should be safe to mark `noalias` there.

With this patch, we mark `noalias` only when the type is a value with a
programmer-defined Drop implementation. This is possibly overly conservative,
but I thought that proceeding cautiously was best in this instance.
