Implement -Z function-sections=yes|no
This lets rustc users tweak whether all functions should be put in their own TEXT section, using whatever default value the target defines if the flag is missing.
I'm having fun experimenting with musl libc and trying to implement the start symbol in Rust, that means avoiding code that requires relocations, and AFAIK putting everything in its own section makes the toolchain generate `GOTPCREL` relocations for symbols that could use plain old PC-relative addressing (at least on `x86_64`) if they were all in the same section.

Closes#75172.

TEXT section, using whatever default value the target defines if the flag
is missing.
Add cg_clif as optional codegen backend
Rustc_codegen_cranelift is an alternative codegen backend for rustc based on Cranelift. It has the potential to improve compilation times in debug mode. In my experience the compile time improvements over debug mode LLVM for a clean build are about 20-30% in most cases.
This PR adds cg_clif as optional codegen backend. By default it is only enabled for `./x.py check`. It can be enabled for `./x.py build` too by adding `cranelift` to the `rust.codegen-backends` array in `config.toml`.

Codegen backend interface refactor
This moves several things away from the codegen backend to rustc_interface. There are a few behavioral changes where previously the incremental cache (incorrectly) wouldn't get finalized, but now it does. See the individual commit messages.
Add -Z codegen-backend dylib to deps
When the codegen-backend dylib changes, the program should be rebuilt.

Unfortunately I was unable to test this works locally due to running into a TLS issue when running the custom backend, `thread 'rustc' panicked at 'no ImplicitCtxt stored in tls', compiler/rustc_middle/src/ty/context.rs:1750:54`, which seems similar to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62717 but has a completely different cause and backtrace.
`@eddyb` said to ping `@Mark-Simulacrum` about what they think about this, so, ping!
We currently only attach tokens when parsing a `:stmt` matcher for a
`macro_rules!` macro. Proc-macro attributes on statements are still
unstable, and need additional work.
diagnostics: shorten paths of unique symbols
This is a step towards implementing a fix for #50310, and continuation of the discussion in [Pre-RFC: Nicer Types In Diagnostics - compiler - Rust Internals](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre-rfc-nicer-types-in-diagnostics/11139). Impressed upon me from previous discussion in #21934 that an RFC for this is not needed, and I should just come up with code.
The recent improvements to `use` suggestions that I've contributed have given rise to this implementation. Contrary to previous suggestions, it's rather simple logic, and I believe it only reduces the amount of cognitive load that a developer would need when reading type errors.

If a symbol name can only be imported from one place, and as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we can trim its printed path to the last component.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example, shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other `Vec` importable from anywhere.
If a symbol name can only be imported from one place for a type, and
as long as it was not glob-imported anywhere in the current crate, we
can trim its printed path and print only the name.
This has wide implications on error messages with types, for example,
shortening `std::vec::Vec` to just `Vec`, as long as there is no other
`Vec` importable anywhere.
This adds a new '-Z trim-diagnostic-paths=false' option to control this
feature.
On the good path, with no diagnosis printed, we should try to avoid
issuing this query, so we need to prevent trimmed_def_paths query on
several cases.
This change also relies on a previous commit that differentiates
between `Debug` and `Display` on various rustc types, where the latter
is trimmed and presented to the user and the former is not.
compiler: use `OnceCell` from std
Fixes#76192
The only remaining direct use of `lazy_static` crate is in `src/bootstrap` but I am not sure how I can remove that dependency for now.
r? @matklad
Fixes#75050
Previously, we would unconditionally suppress the panic hook during
proc-macro execution. This commit adds a new flag
-Z proc-macro-backtrace, which allows running the panic hook for
easier debugging.
