Fix #6298. Fix #13767.

This also includes some drive by fixes for some other issues, noted in the commits.

I still need to integrate regression tests for some cases that I noticed were missing from our unit test suite (i.e. things that compiling rustc exposes that should have been exposed when doing make check-stage1). So do not land this yet, until I get the chance to add those tests.

I just wanted to get the review process started soon, since this has been long in the coming.

Will this effectively close #13767, given that most (all?) things are driven off dataflow now?

@pcwalton yes it would, IMO

Okay I have now added the tests that I think are reasonable to try to put in with this PR.

The main remaining thing to test is the control-flow graph and borrowck behavior associated with ExprInlineAsm; however, there are independent bugs that really should be fixed for asm! separately (see #14962), so I would prefer to rebase+land this now and then land the tests associated with asm! later.

This looks good. r+.

Here are some suggested changes:

Ah, one more comment -- the change to introduce LpCopiedUpvar seems to apply equally to all upvars.

1. After recursively processing an ExprWhile, need to pop loop_scopes
   the same way we do for ExprLoop.

2. Proposed fix for flowgraph handling of ExprInlineAsm: we need to
   represent the flow into the subexpressions of an `asm!` block.
Fix rust-lang#6298.

This is instead of the prior approach of emulating cfg traversal
privately by traversing AST in same way).

Of special note, this removes a special case handling of `ExprParen`
that was actually injecting a bug (since it was acting like an
expression like `(*func)()` was consuming `*func` *twice*: once from
`(*func)` and again from `*func`).  nikomatsakis was the first one to
point out that it might suffice to simply have the outer `ExprParen`
do the consumption of the contents (alone).

(This version has been updated to incorporate feedback from Niko's
review of PR 14873.)
Namely:

 1. Now that cfg mod is used for dataflow, we do not need to turn on
    the `allow(deadcode)` to placate the linter.

 2. remove dead struct defn.
…ext.

Details: in a program like:
```
type T = proc(int) -> int; /* 4 */

pub fn outer(captured /* pat 16 */: T) -> T {
    (proc(x /* pat 23 */) {
        ((captured /* 29 */).foo((x /* 30 */)) /* 28 */)
    } /* block 27 */ /* 20 */)
} /* block 19 */ /* 12 */
```
the `captured` arg is moved from the outer fn into the inner proc (id=20).

The old dataflow analysis for flowed_move_data_moves, when looking at
the inner proc, would attempt to add a kill bit for `captured` at the
end of its scope; the problem is that it thought the end of the
`captured` arg's scope was the outer fn (id=12), even though at that
point in the analysis, the `captured` arg's scope should now be
restricted to the proc itself (id=20).

This patch fixes handling of upvars so that dataflow of a fn/proc
should never attempts to add a gen or kill bit to any NodeId outside
of the current fn/proc.  It accomplishes this by adding an `LpUpvar`
variant to `borrowck::LoanPath`, so for cases like `captured` above
will carry both their original `var_id`, as before, as well as the
`NodeId` for the closure that is capturing them.

As a drive-by fix to another occurrence of a similar bug that
nikomatsakis pointed out to me earlier, this also fixes
`gather_loans::compute_kill_scope` so that it computes the kill scope
of the `captured` arg to be block 27; that is, the block for the proc
itself (id=20).

(This is an updated version that generalizes the new loan path variant
to cover all upvars, and thus renamed the variant from `LpCopiedUpvar`
to just `LpUpvar`.)
thereof.)

PR 14739 injected the new message that this removes from one test
case: borrowck-vec-pattern-loan-from-mut.rs

When reviewing the test case, I was not able to convince myself that
the error message was a legitimate thing to start emitting.  Niko did
not see an obvious reason for it either, so I am going to remove it
and wait for someone (maybe Cameron Zwarich) to explain to me why we
should be emitting it.

Filed followup issue #15019 that I decided not to attempt to address before getting this landed.
