Auto merge of rust-lang#138464 - compiler-errors:less-type-ir, r=lcnr
Use `rustc_type_ir` directly less in the codebase
cc rust-lang#138449
This is a somewhat opinionated bundle of changes that will make working on rust-lang#138449 more easy, since it cuts out the bulk of the changes that would be necessitated by the lint. Namely:
1. Fold `rustc_middle::ty::fold` and `rustc_middle::ty::visit` into `rustc_middle::ty`. This is because we already reexport some parts of these modules into `rustc_middle::ty`, and there's really no benefit from namespacing away the rest of these modules's functionality given how important folding and visiting is to the type layer.
2. Rename `{Decodable,Encodable}_Generic` to `{Decodable,Encodable}_NoContext`[^why], change it to be "perfect derive" (`synstructure::AddBounds::Fields`), use it throughout `rustc_type_ir` instead of `TyEncodable`/`TyDecodable`.
3. Make `TyEncodable` and `TyDecodable` derives use `::rustc_middle::ty::codec::TyEncoder` (etc) for its generated paths, and move the `rustc_type_ir::codec` module back to `rustc_middle::ty::codec` :tada:.
4. Stop using `rustc_type_ir` in crates that aren't "fundamental" to the type system, namely middle/infer/trait-selection. This amounted mostly to changing imports from `use rustc_type_ir::...` to `use rustc_middle::ty::...`, but also this means that we can't glob import `TyKind::*` since the reexport into `rustc_middle::ty::TyKind` is a type alias. Instead, use the prefixed variants like `ty::Str` everywhere -- IMO this is a good change, since it makes it more regularized with most of the rest of the compiler.
[^why]: `_NoContext` is the name for derive macros with no additional generic bounds and which do "perfect derive" by generating bounds based on field types. See `HashStable_NoContext`.
I'm happy to cut out some of these changes into separate PRs to make landing it a bit easier, though I don't expect to have much trouble with bitrot.
