Unrolled build for rust-lang#127556

Rollup merge of rust-lang#127556 - Zalathar:autoref, r=Nadrieril

Replace a long inline "autoref" comment with method docs

This comment has two problems:

- It is very long, making the flow of the enclosing method hard to follow.
- It starts by talking about an `autoref` flag that hasn't existed since rust-lang#59114.
  - This makes it hard to trust that the information in the comment is accurate or relevant, even though much of it still seems to be true.

This PR therefore replaces the long inline comment with a revised doc comment on `bind_matched_candidate_for_guard`, and some shorter inline comments.

For readers who want more historical context, we also link to the PR that added the old comment, and the PR that removed the `autoref` flag.

// rust-lang/rust#27282: The `autoref` business deserves some
// explanation here.
//
// The intent of the `autoref` flag is that when it is true,
// then any pattern bindings of type T will map to a `&T`
// within the context of the guard expression, but will
// continue to map to a `T` in the context of the arm body. To
// avoid surfacing this distinction in the user source code
// (which would be a severe change to the language and require
// far more revision to the compiler), when `autoref` is true,
// then any occurrence of the identifier in the guard
// expression will automatically get a deref op applied to it.
//
// So an input like:
//
// ```
// let place = Foo::new();
// match place { foo if inspect(foo)
// => feed(foo), ... }
// ```
//
// will be treated as if it were really something like:
//
// ```
// let place = Foo::new();
// match place { Foo { .. } if { let tmp1 = &place; inspect(*tmp1) }
// => { let tmp2 = place; feed(tmp2) }, ... }
// ```
//
// And an input like:
//
// ```
// let place = Foo::new();
// match place { ref mut foo if inspect(foo)
// => feed(foo), ... }
// ```
//
// will be treated as if it were really something like:
//
// ```
// let place = Foo::new();
// match place { Foo { .. } if { let tmp1 = & &mut place; inspect(*tmp1) }
// => { let tmp2 = &mut place; feed(tmp2) }, ... }
// ```
//
// In short, any pattern binding will always look like *some*
// kind of `&T` within the guard at least in terms of how the
// MIR-borrowck views it, and this will ensure that guard
// expressions cannot mutate their the match inputs via such
// bindings. (It also ensures that guard expressions can at
// most *copy* values from such bindings; non-Copy things
// cannot be moved via pattern bindings in guard expressions.)
//
// ----
//
// Implementation notes (under assumption `autoref` is true).
//
// To encode the distinction above, we must inject the
// temporaries `tmp1` and `tmp2`.
//
// There are two cases of interest: binding by-value, and binding by-ref.
//
// 1. Binding by-value: Things are simple.
//
// * Establishing `tmp1` creates a reference into the
// matched place. This code is emitted by
// bind_matched_candidate_for_guard.
//
// * `tmp2` is only initialized "lazily", after we have
// checked the guard. Thus, the code that can trigger
// moves out of the candidate can only fire after the
// guard evaluated to true. This initialization code is
// emitted by bind_matched_candidate_for_arm.
//
// 2. Binding by-reference: Things are tricky.
//
// * Here, the guard expression wants a `&&` or `&&mut`
// into the original input. This means we need to borrow
// the reference that we create for the arm.
// * So we eagerly create the reference for the arm and then take a
// reference to that.
// Lower an instance of the arm guard (if present) for this candidate,
// and then perform bindings for the arm body.
