Auto merge of #45225 - eddyb:trans-abi, r=<try>

Refactor type memory layouts and ABIs, to be more general and easier to optimize.

To combat combinatorial explosion, type layouts are now described through 3 orthogonal properties:
* `Variants` describes the plurality of sum types (where applicable)
  * `Single` is for one inhabited/active variant, including all C `struct`s and `union`s
  * `Tagged` has its variants discriminated by an integer tag, including C `enum`s
  * `NicheFilling` uses otherwise-invalid values ("niches") for all but one of its inhabited variants
* `FieldPlacement` describes the number and memory offsets of fields (if any)
  * `Union` has all its fields at offset `0`
  * `Array` has offsets that are a multiple of its `stride`; guarantees all fields have one type
  * `Arbitrary` records all the field offsets, which can be out-of-order
* `Abi` describes how values of the type should be passed around, including for FFI
  * `Uninhabited` corresponds to no values, associated with unreachable control-flow
  * `Scalar` is ABI-identical to its only integer/floating-point/pointer "scalar component"
  * `ScalarPair` has two "scalar components", but only applies to the Rust ABI
  * `Vector` is for SIMD vectors, typically `#[repr(simd)]` `struct`s in Rust
  * `Aggregate` has arbitrary contents, including all non-transparent C `struct`s and `union`s

Size optimizations implemented so far:
* ignoring uninhabited variants (i.e. containing uninhabited fields), e.g.:
  * `Option<!>` is 0 bytes
  * `Result<T, !>` has the same size as `T`
* using arbitrary niches, not just `0`, to represent a data-less variant, e.g.:
  * `Option<bool>`, `Option<Option<bool>>`, `Option<Ordering>` are all 1 byte
  * `Option<char>` is 4 bytes
* using a range of niches to represent *multiple* data-less variants, e.g.:
  * `enum E { A(bool), B, C, D }` is 1 byte

Code generation now takes advantage of `Scalar` and `ScalarPair` to, in more cases, pass around scalar components as immediates instead of indirectly, through pointers into temporary memory, while avoiding LLVM's "first-class aggregates", and there's more untapped potential here.

Closes #44426, fixes #5977, fixes #14540, fixes #43278.
