Foundations of location-sensitive polonius
I'd to land the prototype I'm describing in the [polonius project goal](rust-lang/rust-project-goals#118). It still is incomplete and naive and terrible but it's working "well enough" to consider landing.
I'd also like to make review easier by not opening a huge PR, but have a couple small-ish ones (the +/- line change summary of this PR looks big, but >80% is moving datalog to a single place).
This PR starts laying the foundation for that work:
- it refactors and collects 99% of the old datalog fact gen, which was spread around everywhere, into a single dedicated module. It's still present at 3 small places (one of which we should revert anyways) that are kinda deep within localized components that are not as easily extractable into the rest of fact gen, so it's fine for now.
- starts introducing the localized constraints, the building blocks of the naive way of implementing the location-sensitive analysis in-tree, which is roughly sketched out in https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2023/09/22/polonius-part-1/ and https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps/blog/2023/09/29/polonius-part-2/ but with a different vibe than per-point environments, just `r1@p: r2@q` constraints.
- sets up the skeleton of generating these localized constraints: converting NLL typeck constraints, and creating liveness constraints
- introduces the polonius dual to NLL MIR to help development and debugging. It doesn't do much original currently but is a way to see these localized constraints: its an NLL MIR dump + a dumb listing of the constraints. It's not intended to be a long-term thing, it's for testing purposes, and I will replace its contents in the future with a different approach (an HTML where we can more easily explore these constraints, have mermaid graphs of the usual graphviz dumps, etc)
I've started documenting the approach in this PR, I'll add more in the future. It's quite simple, and should be very clear when more constraints are introduced anyways.

Best reviewed per commit so that the datalog move is less bothersome to read, but if you'd prefer we separate that into a different PR, I can do that.
