Introduces `BackendRepr::ScalableVector` corresponding to scalable
vector types annotated with `repr(scalable)` which lowers to a scalable
vector type in LLVM.

Much of the compiler calls functions on Align projected from AbiAlign.
AbiAlign impls Deref to its inner Align, so we can simplify these away.
Also, it will minimize disruption when AbiAlign is removed.
For now, preserve usages that might resolve to PartialOrd or PartialEq,
as those have odd inference.
Greatly simplify lifetime captures in edition 2024
Remove most of the `+ Captures` and `+ '_` from the compiler, since they are now unnecessary with the new edition 2021 lifetime capture rules. Use some `+ 'tcx` and `+ 'static` rather than being overly verbose with precise capturing syntax.
This pair of fn was introduced to perform invariant checks for scalars.
Their current behavior doesn't mesh as well with checking SIMD types,
so change the name of the fn to reflect their actual use-case and
refactor the corresponding checks.
Also simplify the returns from Option<AbiAndPrefAlign> to Option<Align>,
because every site was mapping away the "preferred" alignment anyways.
the behavior of the type system not only depends on the current
assumptions, but also the currentnphase of the compiler. This is
mostly necessary as we need to decide whether and how to reveal
opaque types. We track this via the `TypingMode`.
The initial naming of "Abi" was an awful mistake, conveying wrong ideas
about how psABIs worked and even more about what the enum meant.
It was only meant to represent the way the value would be described to
a codegen backend as it was lowered to that intermediate representation.
It was never meant to mean anything about the actual psABI handling!
The conflation is because LLVM typically will associate a certain form
with a certain ABI, but even that does not hold when the special cases
that actually exist arise, plus the IR annotations that modify the ABI.
Reframe `rustc_abi::Abi` as the `BackendRepr` of the type, and rename
`BackendRepr::Aggregate` as `BackendRepr::Memory`. Unfortunately, due to
the persistent misunderstandings, this too is now incorrect:
- Scattered ABI-relevant code is entangled with BackendRepr
- We do not always pre-compute a correct BackendRepr that reflects how
we "actually" want this value to be handled, so we leave the backend
interface to also inject various special-cases here
- In some cases `BackendRepr::Memory` is a "real" aggregate, but in
others it is in fact using memory, and in some cases it is a scalar!
Our rustc-to-backend lowering code handles this sort of thing right now.
That will eventually be addressed by lifting duplicated lowering code
to either rustc_codegen_ssa or rustc_target as appropriate.
