On some architectures, vector types may have a different ABI depending
on whether the relevant target features are enabled. (The ABI when the
feature is disabled is often not specified, but LLVM implements some
de-facto ABI.)
As discussed in rust-lang/lang-team#235, this turns out to very easily
lead to unsound code.
This commit makes it a post-monomorphization future-incompat warning to
declare or call functions using those vector types in a context in which
the corresponding target features are disabled, if using an ABI for
which the difference is relevant. This ensures that these functions are
always called with a consistent ABI.

On some architectures, vector types may have a different ABI when
relevant target features are enabled.

This commit makes it an error to declare or call functions using those
vector types in a context in which the corresponding target features are
disabled, if using an ABI for which the difference is relevant.
When writing a no_std binary, you'll be greeted with nonsensical errors
mentioning lang items like eh_personality and start. That's pretty bad
because it makes you think that you need to define them somewhere! But
oh no, now you're getting the `internal_features` lint telling you that
you shouldn't use them! But you need a no_std binary! What now?
No problem! Writing a no_std binary is super easy. Just use panic=abort
and supply your own platform specific entrypoint symbol (like `main`)
and you're good to go. Would be nice if the compiler told you that,
right?
This makes it so that it does do that.
This makes it easier to open the messages file while developing on features.
