Compute generator saved locals on MIR
Generators are currently type-checked by introducing a `witness` type variable, which is unified with a `GeneratorWitness(captured types)` whose purpose is to ensure that the auto traits correctly migrate from the captured types to the `witness` type. This requires computing the captured types on HIR during type-checking, only to re-do it on MIR later.
This PR proposes to drop the HIR-based computation, and only keep the MIR one. This is done in 3 steps.
1. During type-checking, the `witness` type variable is never unified. This allows to stall all the obligations that depend on it until the end of type-checking. Then, the stalled obligations are marked as successful, and saved into the typeck results for later verification.
2. At type-checking writeback, `witness` is replaced by `GeneratorWitnessMIR(def_id, substs)`. From this point on, all trait selection involving `GeneratorWitnessMIR` will fetch the MIR-computed locals, similar to what opaque types do. There is no lifetime to be preserved here: we consider all the lifetimes appearing in this witness type to be higher-ranked.
3. After borrowck, the stashed obligations are verified against the actually computed types, in the `check_generator_obligations` query. If any obligation was wrongly marked as fulfilled in step 1, it should be reported here.
There are still many issues:
- ~I am not too happy having to filter out some locals from the checked bounds, I think this is MIR building that introduces raw pointers polluting the analysis;~ solved by a check specific to static variables.
- the diagnostics for captured types don't show where they are used/dropped;
- I do not attempt to support chalk.
