Stacked Borrows: make scalar field retagging the default

I think it is time to finally close this soundness gap. Any objections? :)

Unfortunately the latest released versions of hashbrown and scopeguard can fail under full field retagging. The fixes have landed in the git repos but have not been released yet. I don't know if scalar field retagging as enabled by this PR is sufficient to cause problems with these crates, but it seems likely that this would be the case -- e.g. if both `value` and `dropfn` are scalars, the entire scopeguard struct will be a `ScalarPair` and thus get field retagging.

However, given that we actually generate LLVM `noalias` for these cases, it seems prudent to inform users of this risk. They can easily set `-Zmiri-field-retag=none` to opt-out of this change.
