(Re-)Implement `impl_trait_in_bindings`
This reimplements the `impl_trait_in_bindings` feature for local bindings.
"`impl Trait` in bindings" serve as a form of *trait* ascription, where the type basically functions as an infer var but additionally registering the `impl Trait`'s trait bounds for the infer type. These trait bounds can be used to enforce that predicates hold, and can guide inference (e.g. for closure signature inference):
```rust
let _: impl Fn(&u8) -> &u8 = |x| x;
```
They are implemented as an additional set of bounds that are registered when the type is lowered during typeck, and then these bounds are tied to a given `CanonicalUserTypeAscription` for borrowck. We enforce these `CanonicalUserTypeAscription` bounds during borrowck to make sure that the `impl Trait` types are sensitive to lifetimes:
```rust
trait Static: 'static {}
impl<T> Static for T where T: 'static {}
let local = 1;
let x: impl Static = &local;
//~^ ERROR `local` does not live long enough
```

Why can't we just use TAIT inference or something? Well, TAITs in bodies have the problem that they cannot reference lifetimes local to a body. For example:
```rust
type TAIT = impl Display;
let local = 0;
let x: TAIT = &local;
//~^ ERROR `local` does not live long enough
```
That's because TAITs requires us to do *opaque type inference* which is pretty strict, since we need to remap all of the lifetimes of the hidden type to universal regions. This is simply not possible here.

I consider this part of the "impl trait everywhere" experiment. I'm not certain if this needs yet another lang team experiment.
This directory contains some source code for the Rust project, including:
- The bootstrapping build system
- Various submodules for tools, like cargo, tidy, etc.
