Nicholas Nethercote 2200911616 Rename many interner functions.
(This is a large commit. The changes to
`compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/context.rs` are the most important ones.)

The current naming scheme is a mess, with a mix of `_intern_`, `intern_`
and `mk_` prefixes, with little consistency. In particular, in many
cases it's easy to use an iterator interner when a (preferable) slice
interner is available.

The guiding principles of the new naming system:
- No `_intern_` prefixes.
- The `intern_` prefix is for internal operations.
- The `mk_` prefix is for external operations.
- For cases where there is a slice interner and an iterator interner,
  the former is `mk_foo` and the latter is `mk_foo_from_iter`.

Also, `slice_interners!` and `direct_interners!` can now be `pub` or
non-`pub`, which helps enforce the internal/external operations
division.

It's not perfect, but I think it's a clear improvement.

The following lists show everything that was renamed.

slice_interners
- const_list
  - mk_const_list -> mk_const_list_from_iter
  - intern_const_list -> mk_const_list
- substs
  - mk_substs -> mk_substs_from_iter
  - intern_substs -> mk_substs
  - check_substs -> check_and_mk_substs (this is a weird one)
- canonical_var_infos
  - intern_canonical_var_infos -> mk_canonical_var_infos
- poly_existential_predicates
  - mk_poly_existential_predicates -> mk_poly_existential_predicates_from_iter
  - intern_poly_existential_predicates -> mk_poly_existential_predicates
  - _intern_poly_existential_predicates -> intern_poly_existential_predicates
- predicates
  - mk_predicates -> mk_predicates_from_iter
  - intern_predicates -> mk_predicates
  - _intern_predicates -> intern_predicates
- projs
  - intern_projs -> mk_projs

  - mk_place_elems -> mk_place_elems_from_iter
  - intern_place_elems -> mk_place_elems
- bound_variable_kinds
  - mk_bound_variable_kinds -> mk_bound_variable_kinds_from_iter

direct_interners
- region
  - intern_region (unchanged)

- const_allocation
  - intern_const_alloc -> mk_const_alloc
- layout
  - intern_layout -> mk_layout

  - intern_external_constraints -> mk_external_constraints

Other
- type_list
  - mk_type_list -> mk_type_list_from_iter

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
