This allows to directly map from a DefPathHash to the crate it
originates from, without constructing side tables to do that mapping.
It also allows to reliably and cheaply check for DefPathHash collisions.
Reduce a large memory spike that happens during serialization by writing
the incr comp structures to file by way of a fixed-size buffer, rather
than an unbounded vector.
Effort was made to keep the instruction count close to that of the
previous implementation. However, buffered writing to a file inherently
has more overhead than writing to a vector, because each write may
result in a handleable error. To reduce this overhead, arrangements are
made so that each LEB128-encoded integer can be written to the buffer
with only one capacity and error check. Higher-level optimizations in
which entire composite structures can be written with one capacity and
error check are possible, but would require much more work.
The performance is mostly on par with the previous implementation, with
small to moderate instruction count regressions. The memory reduction is
significant, however, so it seems like a worth-while trade-off.
This introduces a no-op `Unhasher` for map keys that are already hash-
like, for example `Fingerprint` and its wrapper `DefPathHash`. For these
we can directly produce the `u64` hash for maps. The first use of this
is `def_path_hash_to_def_id: Option<UnhashMap<DefPathHash, DefId>>`.
