Add -Z small-data-threshold
This flag allows specifying the threshold size above which LLVM should not consider placing small objects in a `.sdata` or `.sbss` section.
Support is indicated in the target options via the
small-data-threshold-support target option, which can indicate either an
LLVM argument or an LLVM module flag. To avoid duplicate specifications
in a large number of targets, the default value for support is
DefaultForArch, which is translated to a concrete value according to the
target's architecture.

We want to allow setting this on the CLI, override it only in MIR
passes, and disable it altogether in mir-opt tests.
The default value is "only for NLL MIR dumps", which is considered off
for all intents and purposes, except for `rustc_borrowck` when an NLL
MIR dump is requested.
rustc: Simplify getting sysroot library directory
It was very non-obvious that `sess.target_tlib_path`, `make_target_lib_path(...)`, and `sess.target_filesearch(...).search_paths()` result in the same sysroot library directory paths.
They are however, indeed the same, because `sess.target_tlib_path` is initialized to `make_target_lib_path(...)` on `Session` creation, and they are used interchangeably.
There are still some redundant calls to `make_target_lib_path` and other inconsistent ways to obtain sysroot directories, but fixing that requires some behavior changes, while this PR is a pure refactoring.
Some places in the compiler even disagree on the number of sysroots - 1 (explicit `--sysroot` *or* default sysroot), 2 (explicit `--sysroot` *and* default sysroot), or an unclear number of `sysroot_candidates` every of which is considered.
The logic currently using `sess.target_tlib_path` or equivalents assumes one sysroot.
Unconditionally allow shadow call-stack sanitizer for AArch64
It is possible to do so whenever `-Z fixed-x18` is applied.
cc ``@Darksonn`` for context
The reasoning is that, as soon as reservation on `x18` is forced through the flag `fixed-x18`, on AArch64 the option to instrument with [Shadow Call Stack sanitizer](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/ShadowCallStack.html) is then applicable regardless of the target configuration.
At the every least, we would like to relax the restriction on specifically `aarch64-unknonw-none`. For this option, we can include a documentation change saying that users of compiled objects need to ensure that they are linked to runtime with Shadow Call Stack instrumentation support.

Use more slice patterns inside the compiler
Nothing super noteworthy. Just replacing the common 'fragile' pattern of "length check followed by indexing or unwrap" with slice patterns for legibility and 'robustness'.

Gate the type length limit check behind a nightly flag
Effectively disables the type length limit by introducing a `-Zenforce-type-length-limit` which defaults to **`false`**, since making the length limit actually be enforced ended up having a worse fallout than expected. We still keep the code around, but the type length limit attr is now a noop (except for its usage in some diagnostics code?).
r? `@lcnr` -- up to you to decide what team consensus we need here since this reverses an FCP decision.
Reopens#125460 (if we decide to reopen it or keep it closed)

use "bootstrap" instead of "rustbuild" in comments and docs
Let's stick with the single name "bootstrap" to refer to the bootstrap project to avoid confusion. This should make it clearer, especially for new contributors.
Ignore allocation bytes in some mir-opt tests
This adds `rustc -Zdump-mir-exclude-alloc-bytes` to skip writing allocation bytes in MIR dumps, and applies it to tests that were failing on s390x due to its big-endian byte order.
Fixes#126261
Since this codegen flag now only controls LLVM-generated comments rather than
all assembly comments, make the name more accurate (and also match Clang).
In 126578 we ended up with more binary size increases than expected.
This change attempts to avoid inlining large things into small things, to avoid that kind of increase, in cases when top-down inlining will still be able to do that inlining later.
patchable-function-entry: Add unstable compiler flag and attribute
Tracking issue: #123115
Add the -Z patchable-function-entry compiler flag and the #[patchable_function_entry(prefix_nops = m, entry_nops = n)] attribute.
Rebased and adjusted the canditate implementation to match changes in the RFC.
`-Z patchable-function-entry` works like `-fpatchable-function-entry`
on clang/gcc. The arguments are total nop count and function offset.
See MCP rust-lang/compiler-team#704
Deprecate no-op codegen option `-Cinline-threshold=...`
This deprecates `-Cinline-threshold` since using it has no effect. This has been the case since the new LLVM pass manager started being used, more than 2 years ago.
Recommend using `-Cllvm-args=--inline-threshold=...` instead.
Closes#89742 which is E-help-wanted.
