This implements RFC 179 by making the pattern `&<pat>` require matching
against a variable of type `&T`, and introducing the pattern `&mut
<pat>` which only works with variables of type `&mut T`.
The pattern `&mut x` currently parses as `&(mut x)` i.e. a pattern match
through a `&T` or a `&mut T` that binds the variable `x` to have type
`T` and to be mutable. This should be rewritten as follows, for example,
for &mut x in slice.iter() {
becomes
for &x in slice.iter() {
let mut x = x;
Due to this, this is a
[breaking-change]
Closes #20496.
