Initial implementation of transmutability trait.

*T'was the night before Christmas and all through the codebase, not a miri was stirring — no hint of `unsafe`!*

This PR provides an initial, **incomplete** implementation of *[MCP 411: Lang Item for Transmutability](rust-lang/compiler-team#411. The `core::mem::BikeshedIntrinsicFrom` trait provided by this PR is implemented on-the-fly by the compiler for types `Src` and `Dst` when the bits of all possible values of type `Src` are safely reinterpretable as a value of type `Dst`.

What this PR provides is:
- [x] [support for transmutations involving primitives](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/tree/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/primitives)
- [x] [support for transmutations involving arrays](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/tree/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/arrays)
- [x] [support for transmutations involving structs](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/tree/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/structs)
- [x] [support for transmutations involving enums](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/tree/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/enums)
- [x] [support for transmutations involving unions](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/tree/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/unions)
- [x] [support for weaker validity checks](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/blob/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/unions/should_permit_intersecting_if_validity_is_assumed.rs) (i.e., `Assume::VALIDITY`)
- [x] visibility checking

What isn't yet implemented:
- [ ] transmutability options passed using the `Assume` struct
- [ ] [support for references](https://github.com/jswrenn/rust/blob/transmute/src/test/ui/transmutability/references.rs)
- [ ] smarter error messages

These features will be implemented in future PRs.
