Rollup merge of #144712 - nnethercote:dedup-num-types, r=fmease
Deduplicate `IntTy`/`UintTy`/`FloatTy`.

There are identical definitions in `rustc_type_ir` and `rustc_ast`. This commit removes them and places a single definition in `rustc_ast_ir`. This requires adding `rust_span` as a dependency of `rustc_ast_ir`, but means a bunch of silly conversion functions can be removed.

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.
