ayazhafiz 8c0e39211d Instantiate recursive aliases to their smallest closures
Now, when we have two aliases like

```
T a : [ A, B (U a) ]
U a : [ C, D (T a) ]
```

during the first pass, we simply canonicalize them but add neither to
the scope. This means that `T` will not be instantiated in the
definition of `U`. Only in the second pass, during correction, do we
instantiate both aliases **independently**:

```
T a : [ A, B [ C, D (T a) ] ]
U a : [ C, D [ A, B (U a) ] ]
```

and now we can mark each recursive, individually:

```
T a : [ A, B [ C, D <rec1> ] ] as <rec1>
U a : [ C, D [ A, B <rec2> ] ] as <rec2>
```

This means that the surface types shown to users might be a bit larger,
but it has the benefit that everything needed to understand a layout of
a type in later passes is stored on the type directly, and we don't need
to keep alias mappings.

Since we sort by connected components, this should be complete.

Running our CodeGen tests

Our code generation tests are all in this crate. Feature flags are used to run the tests with a specific backend. For convenience, some aliases are added in .cargo/config:

[alias]
test-gen-llvm = "test -p test_gen"
test-gen-dev = "test -p test_gen --no-default-features --features gen-dev"
test-gen-wasm = "test -p test_gen --no-default-features --features gen-wasm"

So we can run:

cargo test-gen-llvm

To run the gen tests with the LLVM backend. To filter tests, append a filter like so:

> cargo test-gen-wasm wasm_str::small
    Finished test [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.13s
     Running src/tests.rs (target/debug/deps/test_gen-b4ad63a9dd50f050)

running 2 tests
test wasm_str::small_str_literal ... ok
test wasm_str::small_str_zeroed_literal ... ok
