This is just duplicating the logic from the old fulfillment cache, so
I'm not sure it is 100% correct, but it should not be more wrong than
the old logic.
Use the trait-environment+type as the key. Note that these
are only invoked on types that live for the entire compilation
(no inference artifacts). We no longer need the various special-case
bits and caches that were in place before.
traits::select: quickly filter out predicates from other traits
this improves most pre-trans passes's performance by ~1%.
That missed the spring cleaning PR because I wanted to ship it.

In some cases (e.g. <[int-var] as Add<[int-var]>>), selection can turn up
a large number of candidates. Bailing out early avoids O(n^2) performance.
This improves item-type checking time by quite a bit, resulting in ~2% of total
time-to-typeck.
[9/n] rustc: move type information out of AdtDef and TraitDef.
_This is part of a series ([prev](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/37688) | [next]()) of patches designed to rework rustc into an out-of-order on-demand pipeline model for both better feature support (e.g. [MIR-based](https://github.com/solson/miri) early constant evaluation) and incremental execution of compiler passes (e.g. type-checking), with beneficial consequences to IDE support as well.
If any motivation is unclear, please ask for additional PR description clarifications or code comments._
<hr>
Both `AdtDef` and `TraitDef` contained type information (field types, generics and predicates) which was required to create them, preventing their use before that type information exists, or in the case of field types, *mutation* was required, leading to a variance-magicking implementation of `ivar`s.
This PR takes that information out and the resulting cleaner setup could even eventually end up merged with HIR, because, just like `AssociatedItem` before it, there's no dependency on types anymore.
(With one exception, variant discriminants should probably be moved into their own map later.)
In general having all these different structs for "origins" is not
great, since equating types can cause obligations and vice-versa. I
think we should gradually collapse these things. We almost certainly
also need to invest a big more energy into the `error_reporting` code to
rationalize it: this PR does kind of the minimal effort in that
direction.
