It makes it sound like the `ExprKind` and `Rvalue` are supposed to represent all pointer related
casts, when in reality their just used to share a some enum variants. Make it clear there these
are only coercion to make it clear why only some pointer related "casts" are in the enum.
Evaluate place expression in `PlaceMention`
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/102256 introduces a `PlaceMention(place)` MIR statement which keep trace of `let _ = place` statements from surface rust, but without semantics.
This PR proposes to change the behaviour of `let _ =` patterns with respect to the borrow-checker to verify that the bound place is live.
Specifically, consider this code:
```rust
let _ = {
let a = 5;
&a
};
```
This passes borrowck without error on stable. Meanwhile, replacing `_` by `_: _` or `_p` errors with "error[E0597]: `a` does not live long enough", [see playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=c448d25a7c205dc95a0967fe96bccce8).
This PR *does not* change how `_` patterns behave with respect to initializedness: it remains ok to bind a moved-from place to `_`.
The relevant test is `tests/ui/borrowck/let_underscore_temporary.rs`. Crater check found no regression.
For consistency, this PR changes miri to evaluate the place found in `PlaceMention`, and report eventual dangling pointers found within it.

Unify terminology used in unwind action and terminator, and reflect
the fact that a nounwind panic is triggered instead of an immediate
abort is triggered for this terminator.
Insert alignment checks for pointer dereferences when debug assertions are enabled
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/54915
- [x] Jake tells me this sounds like a place to use `MirPatch`, but I can't figure out how to insert a new basic block with a new terminator in the middle of an existing basic block, using `MirPatch`. (if nobody else backs up this point I'm checking this as "not actually a good idea" because the code looks pretty clean to me after rearranging it a bit)
- [x] Using `CastKind::PointerExposeAddress` is definitely wrong, we don't want to expose. Calling a function to get the pointer address seems quite excessive. ~I'll see if I can add a new `CastKind`.~ `CastKind::Transmute` to the rescue!
- [x] Implement a more helpful panic message like slice bounds checking.

The first PR for https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/606
This is just the move-and-rename, because it's plenty big-and-bitrotty already. Future PRs will start using `FieldIdx` more broadly, and concomitantly removing `FieldIdx::new`s.
Updates `interpret`, `codegen_ssa`, and `codegen_cranelift` to consume the new cast instead of the intrinsic.
Includes `CastTransmute` for custom MIR building, to be able to test the extra UB.
not *all* retags might be explicit in Runtime MIR
In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105317 I made Miri treat `Rvalue::Ref/AddrOf` as implicit retagging sites. This updates the MIR docs accordingly.
For `Rvalue::Ref` I think this makes a lot more sense: creating a new reference is their entire point, so we can avoid bloating the MIR with retags. Also this seems to be the best way to handle cases like `*ptr = &[mut] ...`, where doing a retag is somewhat questionable since maybe `*ptr` points to another place now?
For `Rvalue::AddrOf`, Stacked Borrows needs this because even raw ptrs need some retagging, but Tree Borrows doesn't do ant retagging here and I hope we'll end up with a model where raw pointers don't get retagged.
Implement checked Shl/Shr at MIR building.
This does not require any special handling by codegen backends,
as the overflow behaviour is entirely determined by the rhs (shift amount).
This allows MIR ConstProp to remove the overflow check for constant shifts.
~There is an existing different behaviour between cg_llvm and cg_clif (cc `@bjorn3).`
I took cg_llvm's one as reference: overflow if `rhs < 0 || rhs > number_of_bits_in_lhs_ty`.~
EDIT: `cg_llvm` and `cg_clif` implement the overflow check differently. This PR uses `cg_llvm`'s implementation based on a `BitAnd` instead of `cg_clif`'s one based on an unsigned comparison.
