Rollup merge of #107271 - Zeegomo:drop-rmw, r=oli-obk

Treat Drop as a rmw operation

Previously, a Drop terminator was considered a move in MIR. This commit changes the behavior to only treat Drop as a mutable access to the dropped place.

In order for this change to be correct, we need to guarantee that

1.  A dropped value won't be used again
   2.  Places that appear in a drop won't be used again before a
     subsequent initialization.

We can ensure this to be correct at MIR construction because Drop will only be emitted when a variable goes out of scope, thus having:
*   (1) as there is no way of reaching the old value. drop-elaboration
     will also remove any uninitialized drop.
 * (2) as the place can't be named following the end of the scope.

However, the initialization status, previously tracked by moves, should also be tied to the execution of a Drop, hence the additional logic in the dataflow analyses.

/// During MIR building, Drop and DropAndReplace terminators are inserted in every place where a drop may occur.
/// However, in this phase, the presence of these terminators does not guarantee that a destructor will run,
/// as the target of the drop may be uninitialized.
/// In general, the compiler cannot determine at compile time whether a destructor will run or not.
///
/// At a high level, this pass refines Drop and DropAndReplace to only run the destructor if the
/// target is initialized. The way this is achievied is by inserting drop flags for every variable
/// that may be dropped, and then using those flags to determine whether a destructor should run.
/// This pass also removes DropAndReplace, replacing it with a Drop paired with an assign statement.
/// Once this is complete, Drop terminators in the MIR correspond to a call to the "drop glue" or
/// "drop shim" for the type of the dropped place.
///
/// This pass relies on dropped places having an associated move path, which is then used to determine
/// the initialization status of the place and its descendants.
/// It's worth noting that a MIR containing a Drop without an associated move path is probably ill formed,
/// as it would allow running a destructor on a place behind a reference:
///
/// ```text
// fn drop_term<T>(t: &mut T) {
// mir!(
// {
// Drop(*t, exit)
// }
// exit = {
// Return()
// }
// )
// }
