We previously used AliasingMappings and Inaccessible to model
UnsafeCell agreement. This abuses the notion of a mapping since one
doesn't ever actually want to change the aliasing of a pointer (and
certainly not to Inaccessible) - really this was meant to model
pointer casts which should never be performed. In addition to being an
awkward fit, the presence of Inaccessible meant that code could not
assume that any Aliasing invariant permitted reading, and so we had to
add extra machinery to work around this.

Future commits will use a different, simpler model for denoting
UnsafeCell agreement or disagreement.

While we're here, make Read slightly more permissive, implemented for
A: Aliasing, T: Immutable rather than just A: Reference, T: Immutable.

Makes progress on #1122, #1866

We previously used `AliasingMapping`s and `Inaccessible` to model
`UnsafeCell` agreement. This abuses the notion of a mapping since one
doesn't ever actually want to change the aliasing of a pointer (and
certainly not to `Inaccessible`) - really this was meant to model
pointer casts which should never be performed. In addition to being an
awkward fit, the presence of `Inaccessible` meant that code could not
assume that any `Aliasing` invariant permitted reading, and so we had to
add extra machinery to work around this.

Future commits will use a different, simpler model for denoting
`UnsafeCell` agreement or disagreement.

While we're here, make `Read` slightly more permissive, implemented for
`A: Aliasing, T: Immutable` rather than just `A: Reference, T:
Immutable`.
