Feature: Add a memory layout viewer
**Motivation**: rustc by default doesn't enforce a particular memory layout, however it can be useful to see what it is doing under the hood, or if using a particular repr ensure it is behaving how you want it to. This command provides a way to visually explore memory layouts of structures.
**Example**:
this structure:
```rust
struct X {
x: i32,
y: u8,
z: Vec<bool>,
w: usize,
}
```
produces this output:

**Work yet to be done**:
- tests (see below)
- html is mildly janky (see below)
- enums and unions are viewed flatly, how should they be represented?
- should niches be marked somehow?
This was written for my own use, and the jank is fine for me, but in its current state it is probably not ready to merge mostly because it is missing tests, and also because the code quality is not great. However, before I spend time fixing those things idk if this is even something wanted, if it is I am happy to clean it up, if not that's cool too.
