[NLL] Remove `LiveVar`

The `LiveVar` type (and related) made it harder to reason about the code. It seemed as an abstraction that didn't bring any useful concept to the reader (when transitioning from the RFC theory to the actual implementation code).

It achieved a compactness in the vectors storing the def/use/drop information that was related only to the `LocalUseMap`. This PR went in the other direction and favored time over memory (but this decision can be easily reverted to the other side without reintroducing `LiveVar`).

What this PR aims at is to clarify that there's no significant transformation between the MIR `Local` and the `LiveVar` (now refactored as `live_locals: Vec<Local>`): we're just filtering (not mapping) the entire group of `Local`s into a meaningful subset that we should perform the liveness analysis on.

As a side note, there is no guarantee that the liveness analysis is performed only on (what the code calls) "live" variables, if the NLL facts are requested it will be performed on *any* variable so there can't be any assumptions on that regard. (Still, this PR didn't change the general naming convention to reduce the number of changes here and streamline the review process).

**Acceptance criteria:** This PR attempts to do only a minor refactoring and not to change the logic so it can't have any performance impact, particularly, it can't lose any of the significant performance improvement achieved in the great work done in #52115.
