Expand description

Examine the given definition and record it in the worklist if it should be considered live.

We want to explicitly consider as live:

- Item annotated with #[allow(dead_code)] This is done so that if we want to suppress warnings for a group of dead functions, we only have to annotate the “root”. For example, if both `f` and `g` are dead and `f` calls `g`, then annotating `f` with `#[allow(dead_code)]` will suppress warning for both `f` and `g`.

- Item annotated with #[lang=“..”] Lang items are always callable from elsewhere.

For trait methods and implementations of traits, we are not certain that the definitions are live at this stage. We record them in `unsolved_items` for later examination.
