Combine `ty::Projection` and `ty::Opaque` into `ty::Alias`
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/types-team/issues/79.
This PR consolidates `ty::Projection` and `ty::Opaque` into a single `ty::Alias`, with an `AliasKind` and `AliasTy` type (renamed from `ty::ProjectionTy`, which is the inner data of `ty::Projection`) defined as so:
```
enum AliasKind {
Projection,
Opaque,
}
struct AliasTy<'tcx> {
def_id: DefId,
substs: SubstsRef<'tcx>,
}
```
Since we don't have access to `TyCtxt` in type flags computation, and because repeatedly calling `DefKind` on the def-id is expensive, these two types are distinguished with `ty::AliasKind`, conveniently glob-imported into `ty::{Projection, Opaque}`. For example:
```diff
match ty.kind() {
- ty::Opaque(..) =>
+ ty::Alias(ty::Opaque, ..) => {}
_ => {}
}
```
This PR also consolidates match arms that treated `ty::Opaque` and `ty::Projection` identically.

Support using `Self` or projections inside an RPIT/async fn
I reuse the same idea as https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/103449 to use variances to encode whether a lifetime parameter is captured by impl-trait.
The current implementation of async and RPIT replace all lifetimes from the parent generics by `'static`. This PR changes the scheme
```rust
impl<'a> Foo<'a> {
fn foo<'b, T>() -> impl Into<Self> + 'b { ... }
}
opaque Foo::<'_a>::foo::<'_b, T>::opaque<'b>: Into<Foo<'_a>> + 'b;
impl<'a> Foo<'a> {
// OLD
fn foo<'b, T>() -> Foo::<'static>::foo::<'static, T>::opaque::<'b> { ... }
^^^^^^^ the `Self` becomes `Foo<'static>`
// NEW
fn foo<'b, T>() -> Foo::<'a>::foo::<'b, T>::opaque::<'b> { ... }
^^ the `Self` stays `Foo<'a>`
}
```
There is the same issue with projections. In the example, substitute `Self` by `<T as Trait<'b>>::Assoc` in the sugared version, and `Foo<'_a>` by `<T as Trait<'_b>>::Assoc` in the desugared one.
This allows to support `Self` in impl-trait, since we do not replace lifetimes by `'static` any more. The same trick allows to use projections like `T::Assoc` where `Self` is allowed. The feature is gated behind a `impl_trait_projections` feature gate.
The implementation relies on 2 tweaking rules for opaques in 2 places:
- we only relate substs that correspond to captured lifetimes during TypeRelation;
- we only list captured lifetimes in choice region computation.
For simplicity, I encoded the "capturedness" of lifetimes as a variance, `Bivariant` vs `Invariant` for unused vs captured lifetimes. The `variances_of` query used to ICE for opaques.
Impl-trait that do not reference `Self` or projections will have their variances as:
- `o` (invariant) for each parent type or const;
- `*` (bivariant) for each parent lifetime --> will not participate in borrowck;
- `o` (invariant) for each own lifetime.
Impl-trait that does reference `Self` and/or projections will have some parent lifetimes marked as `o` (as the example above), and participate in type relation and borrowck. In the example above, `variances_of(opaque) = ['_a: o, '_b: *, T: o, 'b: o]`.
