Fix#7322.
I started out with a band-aid approach to special-case the duplicate module error using `is_duplicate_module`, but thought this would be better in the long term.
The "first definition of ..." error string reported by add_child() looks
different from similar messages reported by other functions. Fix this.

add_child() is responsible for reporting errors about type, value, and
module duplicate definitions. Although it checks for all three, it uses
namespace_to_str() to convert a Namespace value into a string before
printing an error like:
error: duplicate definition of type `foo`
^^^^
note: first definition of type foo here:
^^^^
Unfortunately, this string can only be one of "type" or
"value" (corresponding to TypeNS and ValueNS respectively), and it
reports duplicate modules as duplicate types.
To alleviate the problem, define a special NamespaceError enum to define
more specialized errors, and use it instead of attempting to reuse the
Namespace enum.

This adds a `#[no_drop_flag]` attribute. This attribute tells the compiler to omit the drop flag from the struct, if it has a destructor. When the destructor is run, instead of setting the drop flag, it instead zeroes-out the struct. This means the destructor can run multiple times and therefore it is up to the developer to use it safely.
The primary usage case for this is smart-pointer types like `Rc<T>` as the extra flag caused the struct to be 1 word larger because of alignment.
This closes#7271 and #7138
This sets the `get_tydesc()` return type correctly and removes the intrinsic module. See #3730, #3475.
Update: this now also removes the unused shape fields in tydescs.
This adds both `static mut` items and `static mut` foreign items. This involved changing far less code than I thought it was going to, but the tests seem to pass and the variables seem functional.
I'm more than willing to write more tests, so suggestions are welcome!
Closes#553
