Allow `IndexSlice` to be indexed by ranges.
This comes with some annoyances as the index type can no longer inferred from indexing expressions. The biggest offender for this is `IndexVec::from_fn_n(|idx| ..., n)` where the index type won't be inferred from the call site or any index expressions inside the closure.
My main use case for this is mapping a `Place` to `Range<Idx>` for value tracking where the range represents all the values the place contains.
The wording unsafe pointer is less common and not mentioned in a lot of
places, instead this is usually called a "raw pointer". For the sake of
uniformity, we rename this method.
This came up during the review of
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134424.
Similar to how the alignment is already checked, this adds a check
for null pointer dereferences in debug mode. It is implemented similarly
to the alignment check as a MirPass.
This is related to a 2025H1 project goal for better UB checks in debug
mode: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-project-goals/pull/177.
This also parameterize the "excluded pointee types" and exposes a
general method for inserting checks on pointers.
This is a preparation for adding a NullCheck that makes use of the same
code.
