Previously, rustc_transmute's layout representations were genericized over R, a reference. Now, it's instead genericized over representations of type and region. This allows us to move reference transmutability logic from rustc_trait_selection to rustc_transmutability (and thus unit test it independently of the compiler), and — in a follow-up PR — will make it possible to support analyzing function pointer transmutability with minimal surgery.

silly question: is this intentionally msising the region field?

Yeah, this PR aims to be more or less behavior-preserving. This Display impl is only here for convenience while debugging and isn't encountered by end-users.
