Refactor fallback code to prepare for never type

This PR contains cherry-picks of some of `@nikomatsakis's` work from rust-lang#79366, and shouldn't (AFAICT) represent any change in behavior. However, the refactoring is good regardless of the never type work being landed, and will reduce the size of those eventual PR(s) (and rebase pain).

I am not personally an expert on this code, and the commits are essentially 100% `@nikomatsakis's,` but they do seem reasonable to me by my understanding. Happy to edit with review, of course. Commits are best reviewed in sequence rather than all together.

r? `@jackh726` perhaps?
