The instance evaluation is needed to handle intrinsics such as
`type_id` and `type_name`.
Since we now use Allocation to represent all evaluated constants,
provide a few methods to help process the data inside an allocation.
Add method to get type of an Rvalue in StableMIR
Provide a method to StableMIR users to retrieve the type of an Rvalue operation. There were two possible implementation:
1. Create the logic inside stable_mir to process the type according to the Rvalue semantics, which duplicates the logic of `rustc_middle::mir::Rvalue::ty()`.
2. Implement the Rvalue translation from StableMIR back to internal representation, invoke the `rustc_middle::mir::Rvalue::ty()`, and translate the return value to StableMIR.
I chose the first one for now since the duplication was fairly small, and the option 2 would require way more work to translate everything back to rustc internal representation. If we eventually add those translations, we could easily swap to the option 2.

Fix is_foreign_item for StableMIR instance
Change the implementation of `Instance::is_foreign_item` to directly query the compiler for the instance `def_id` instead of incorrectly relying on the conversion to `CrateItem`. I also added a method to check if the instance has body, since the function already existed and it just wasn't exposed via public APIs. This makes it much cheaper for the user to check if the instance has body.
## Background:
- In pull https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118524, I fixed the conversion from Instance to CrateItem to avoid the conversion if the instance didn't have a body available. This broke the `is_foreign_item`.

Although, we would like to avoid crashes whenever
possible, and that's why I wanted to make this API fallible. It's
looking pretty hard to do proper validation.
I think many of our APIs will unfortunately depend on the user doing
the correct thing since at the MIR level we are working on,
we expect types to have been checked already.
