Add initial support for unsized MaybeUninit wrapper type
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history 
This is achieved by adding a `MaybeUninit` associated type to
`KnownLayout`, whose layout is identical to `Self` except that it admits
uninitialized bytes in all positions.

For sized types, this is bound to `mem::MaybeUninit<Self>`. For
potentially unsized structs, we synthesize a doppelganger with the same
`repr`, whose leading fields are wrapped in `mem::MaybeUninit` and whose
trailing field is the `MaybeUninit` associated type of struct's original
trailing field type. This type-level recursion bottoms out at `[T]`,
whose `MaybeUninit` associated type is bound to `[mem::MaybeUninit<T>]`.

Makes progress towards #1797
