Merge #8799

8799: Add basic support for array lengths in types r=flodiebold a=lf-

This recognizes `let a = [1u8, 2, 3]` as having type `[u8; 3]` instead
of the previous `[u8; _]`. Byte strings and `[0u8; 2]` kinds of range
array declarations are unsupported as before.

I don't know why a bunch of our rustc tests had single quotes inside
strings un-escaped by `UPDATE_EXPECT=1 cargo t`, but I don't think it's
bad? Maybe something in a nightly?
