Move the WorkerLocal type from the rustc-rayon fork into rustc_data_structures

This PR moves the definition of the `WorkerLocal` type from `rustc-rayon` into `rustc_data_structures`. This is enabled by the introduction of the `Registry` type which allows you to group up threads to be used by `WorkerLocal` which is basically just an array with an per thread index. The `Registry` type mirrors the one in Rayon and each Rayon worker thread is also registered with the new `Registry`. Safety for `WorkerLocal` is ensured by having it keep a reference to the registry and checking on each access that we're still on the group of threads associated with the registry used to construct it.

Accessing a `WorkerLocal` is micro-optimized due to it being hot since it's used for most arena allocations.

Performance is slightly improved for the parallel compiler:

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
