Instead of `ast::Ident`, bindings, paths and labels in HIR now keep a new structure called `hir::Ident` containing mtwt-renamed `name` and the original not-renamed `unhygienic_name`. `name` is supposed to be used by default, `unhygienic_name` is rarely used.
This is not ideal, but better than the status quo for two reasons:
- MTWT tables can be cleared immediately after lowering to HIR
- This is less bug-prone, because it is impossible now to forget applying `mtwt::resolve` to a name. It is still possible to use `name` instead of `unhygienic_name` by mistake, but `unhygienic_name`s are used only in few very special circumstances, so it shouldn't be a problem.
Besides name resolution `unhygienic_name` is used in some lints and debuginfo. `unhygienic_name` can be very well approximated by "reverse renaming" `token::intern(name.as_str())` or even plain string `name.as_str()`, except that it would break gensyms like `iter` in desugared `for` loops. This approximation is likely good enough for lints and debuginfo, but not for name resolution, unfortunately (see #27639), so `unhygienic_name` has to be kept.
