Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
rustc_data_structures has a dependency on crossbeam-utils but never uses
it. It appears to have originally had this dependency in order to set
the "nightly" feature; however, its other dependencies use a different
version of crossbeam-utils, so this doesn't actually affect anything.
Furthermore, in current crossbeam-utils, the "nightly" feature has
become a no-op.
don't enable parking_lot nightly features
Having the compiler itself depend on external libraries that use nightly features can lead to "fun" bootstrap situations. Within the rustc repo we use `cfg(bootstrap)` to resolve those, but that is not a reasonable option for external dependencies.
So I propose we stop enabling the "nightly" feature of `parking_lot` here. In my experiments, this then indeed leads to the feature not being enabled (i.e., nothing else enables it), and everything still builds. However, this means parking_lot's `RwLock` will no longer have hardware lock elision for readers -- I hope that is okay to lose in exchange for less bootstrap brain twisting. ;)

With the arrival of min const generics, many alt-vec libraries have
updated to use it in some way and arrayvec is no exception. Use the
latest with minor refactoring.
Also, rustc_workspace_hack is the only user of smallvec 0.6 in the
entire tree, so drop it.
This pulls in rust-lang/rustc-rayon#8 to fix#81425. (h/t @ammaraskar)
That revealed weak constraints on `rustc_arena::DropArena`, because its
`DropType` was holding type-erased raw pointers to generic `T`. We can
implement `Send` for `DropType` (under `cfg(parallel_compiler)`) by
requiring all `T: Send` before they're type-erased.
This version adds the ability to use `rdpmc` hardware-based performance
counters instead of wall-clock time for measuring duration. This also
introduces a dependency on the `perf-event-open-sys` crate on Linux
which is used when using hardware counters.
