Use a trait to enforce field validity for union fields + `unsafe` fields + `unsafe<>` binder types

This PR introduces a new, internal-only trait called `BikeshedGuaranteedNoDrop`[^1] to faithfully model the field check that used to be implemented manually by `allowed_union_or_unsafe_field`.

942db6782f/compiler/rustc_hir_analysis/src/check/check.rs (L84-L115)

Copying over the doc comment from the trait:

```rust
/// Marker trait for the types that are allowed in union fields, unsafe fields,
/// and unsafe binder types.
///
/// Implemented for:
/// * `&T`, `&mut T` for all `T`,
/// * `ManuallyDrop<T>` for all `T`,
/// * tuples and arrays whose elements implement `BikeshedGuaranteedNoDrop`,
/// * or otherwise, all types that are `Copy`.
///
/// Notably, this doesn't include all trivially-destructible types for semver
/// reasons.
///
/// Bikeshed name for now.
```

As far as I am aware, there's no new behavior being guaranteed by this trait, since it operates the same as the manually implemented check. We could easily rip out this trait and go back to using the manually implemented check for union fields, however using a trait means that this code can be shared by WF for `unsafe<>` binders too. See the last commit.

The only diagnostic changes are that this now fires false-negatives for fields that are ill-formed. I don't consider that to be much of a problem though.

[^1]: Please let's not bikeshed this name lol. There's no good name for `ValidForUnsafeFieldsUnsafeBindersAndUnionFields`.
