miri engine: basic support for pointer provenance tracking This enriches pointers with a new member, `tag`, that can be used to do provenance tracking. This is a new type parameter that propagates up through everything. It defaults to `()` (no tag), which is also the value used by CTFE -- but miri will use another type. The only actually interesting piece here, I think, is what I had to do in the memory's `get`. The problem is that `tcx` (storing the allocations for statics) uses `()` for provenance information. But the machine might need another tag. The machine has a function to do the conversion, but if a conversion actually happened, we need to store the result of this *somewhere* -- we cannot return a pointer into `tcx` as we usually would. So I introduced `MonoHashMap` which uses `RefCell` to be able to insert new entries even when we just have a shared ref. However, it is important that we can also return shared refs into the map without holding the `RefCell` opan. This is achieved by boxing the values stored in the map, so their addresses remain stable even when the map's table gets reallocated. This is all implemented in `mono_hash_map.rs`. NOTE: This PR also contains the commits from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54380#issuecomment-423130753. Only the [last two commits](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/54461/files/8e74ee0998a5b11f28d61600dbb881c7168a4a40..HEAD) are new.
