Optionally add type names to TypeIds.

This feature is intended to provide expensive but thorough help for
developers who have an unexpected `TypeId` value and need to determine
what type it actually is. It causes `impl Debug for TypeId` to print
the type name in addition to the opaque ID hash, and in order to do so,
adds a name field to `TypeId`. The cost of this is the increased size of
`TypeId` and the need to store type names in the binary; therefore, it
is an optional feature.

It may be enabled via `cargo -Zbuild-std -Zbuild-std-features=debug_typeid`.
(Note that `-Zbuild-std-features` disables default features which you
may wish to reenable in addition; see
<https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/unstable.html#build-std-features>.)

Example usage and output:

```
fn main() {
    use std::any::{Any, TypeId};
    dbg!(TypeId::of::<usize>(), drop::<usize>.type_id());
}
```

```
TypeId::of::<usize>() = TypeId(0x763d199bccd319899208909ed1a860c6 = usize)
drop::<usize>.type_id() = TypeId(0xe6a34bd13f8c92dd47806da07b8cca9a = core::mem::drop<usize>)
```

Also added feature declarations for the existing `debug_refcell` feature
so it is usable from the `rust.std-features` option of `config.toml`.
