Safe Transmute: Compute transmutability from `rustc_target::abi::Layout`
In its first step of computing transmutability, `rustc_transmutability` constructs a byte-level representation of type layout (`Tree`). Previously, this representation was computed for ADTs by inspecting the ADT definition and performing our own layout computations. This process was error-prone, verbose, and limited our ability to analyze many types (particularly default-repr types).
In this PR, we instead construct `Tree`s from `rustc_target::abi::Layout`s. This helps ensure that layout optimizations are reflected our analyses, and increases the kinds of types we can now analyze, including:
- default repr ADTs
- transparent unions
- `UnsafeCell`-containing types
Overall, this PR expands the expressvity of `rustc_transmutability` to be much closer to the transmutability analysis performed by miri. Future PRs will work to close the remaining gaps (e.g., support for `Box`, raw pointers, `NonZero*`, coroutines, etc.).
