Auto merge of rust-lang#32080 - eddyb:transcendent, r=nikomatsakis

Refactor call & function handling in trans, enable MIR bootstrap.

Non-Rust and Rust ABIs were combined into a common codepath, which means:
* The ugly `__rust_abi` "clown shoes" shim for C->Rust FFI is gone, fixes rust-lang#10116.
* Methods, *including virtual ones* support non-Rust ABIs, closes rust-lang#30235.
* Non-Rust ABIs also pass fat pointers in two arguments; the result should be identical.
* Zero-sized types are never passed as arguments; again, behavior shouldn't change.

Additionally, MIR support for calling intrinsics (through old trans) was implemented.
Alongside assorted fixes, it enabled MIR to launch 🚀 and do a *complete* bootstrap.
To try it yourself, `./configure --enable-orbit` *or* `make RUSTFLAGS="-Z orbit"`.
