2229: Handle capturing a reference into a repr packed struct
RFC 1240 states that it is unsafe to capture references into a
packed-struct. This PR ensures that when a closure captures a precise
path, we aren't violating this safety constraint.
To acheive so we restrict the capture precision to the struct itself.
An interesting edge case where we decided to restrict precision:
```rust
struct Foo(String);
let foo: Foo;
let c = || {
println!("{}", foo.0);
let x = foo.0;
}
```
Given how closures get desugared today, foo.0 will be moved into the
closure, making the `println!`, safe. However this can be very subtle
and also will be unsafe if the closure gets inline.
