Make to_immediate/from_immediate configurable by backends `librustc_codegen_ssa` has the concept of an immediate vs. memory type, and `librustc_codegen_llvm` uses this distinction to implement `bool`s being `i8` in memory, and `i1` in immediate contexts. However, some of that implementation leaked into `codegen_ssa` when converting to/from immediate values. So, move those methods into builder traits, so that behavior can be configured by backends. This is useful if a backend is able to keep bools as bools, or, needs to do more trickery than just bools to bytes. (Note that there's already a large amount of things abstracted with "immediate types" - this is just bringing this particular thing in line to be abstracted as well) --- Pinging @eddyb since that's who I was talking about this change with when they suggested I submit a PR. |

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR,
and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code
that runs towards the end of the compilation process.
For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
