During AST->HIR lowering, the method lower_node_id is tasked to transform NodeIds that identify AST nodes into HirIds that identify HIR nodes. This method maintains a node_id_to_local_id: FxHashMap<NodeId, hir::ItemLocalId> to remember this mapping.

However, this mapping is not entirely useful, and mostly exists (1) to make the developer's life easier, (2) to lower resolutions to local bindings Res::Local in lower_res. The mapping node_id_to_local_id should be removed, and multiple calls to local_node_id with the same NodeId should be forbidden. For usage (2), Res::Local only appears for ident patterns (PatKind::Ident) which are lowered by lower_pat_ident. Hence, lower_res should use a dedicated hash-map filled by lower_pat_ident.

Furthermore, next_id calls lower_node_id with a node_id: NodeId which is entirely local to that function, and will never be known to any other code. Manipulations of node_id_to_local_id there are entirely useless.

Instructions:

• inline lower_node_id into next_id and skip manipulations of node_id_to_local_id;
• replace the Entry::Occupied branch in lower_node_id by a panic!, and fix all the ICEs;
• create another mapping node_id_to_local_id_for_res (name to bikeshed) which is only filled by lower_pat_ident and read by lower_res; this mapping should be saved by with_hir_id_owner like node_id_to_local_id is;
• remove node_id_to_local_id, or eventually keep it only to debug-assert that we don't call lower_node_id twice on the same NodeId.
