Implement rustc part of RFC 3127 trim-paths
This PR implements (or at least tries to) [RFC 3127 trim-paths](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/111540), the rustc part. That is `-Zremap-path-scope` with all of it's components/scopes.

Compute NLL loan scopes using the polonius model
For a *location-insensitive* analysis (that is, without expressiveness improvements for users yet), this PR implements loans going out of scope using reachability and liveness, rather than checking if the issuing region's values contain a given CFG point. This is equivalent to NLL scopes and computes the same data.
r? `@matthewjasper`
A couple of notes:
- there are some assumptions about SCC representatives, placeholders, free regions, and member constraints that I believe hold, and they're documented in the code
- this passes all the UI tests with `-Zpolonius=next` -- the perf is [not terrible](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/112432#issuecomment-1749685862) and there are a bunch of ways to improve it in the future.
- there's a fixme left, hopefully Matthew you know a clean way to get the information it mentions.
Implement `-Clink-self-contained=-linker` opt out
This implements the `-Clink-self-contained` opt out necessary to switch to lld by changing rustc's defaults instead of cargo's.
Components that are enabled and disabled on the CLI are recorded, for the purpose of being merged with the ones which the target spec will declare (I'll open another PR for that tomorrow, for easier review).
For MCP510, we now check whether using the self-contained linker is disabled on the CLI. Right now it would only be sensible to with `-Zgcc-ld=lld` (and I'll add some checks that we don't both enable and disable a component on the CLI in a future PR), but the goal is to simplify adding the check of the target's enabled components here in the follow-up PRs.

Enable incremental-relative-spans by default.
This was enabled on nightly in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/84762.
It has been a while, without obvious bugs. It's time to enable it by default for incremental runs.
LLVM already supports emitting compressed debuginfo. In debuginfo=full
builds, the debug section is often a large amount of data, and it
typically compresses very well (3x is not unreasonable.) We add a new
knob to allow debuginfo to be compressed when the matching LLVM
functionality is present. Like clang, if a known-but-disabled
compression mechanism is requested, we disable compression and emit
uncompressed debuginfo sections.
The API is different enough on older LLVMs we just pretend the support
is missing on LLVM older than 16.
Remove -Z diagnostic-width
This removes the `-Z diagnostic-width` option since it is ignored and does nothing. `-Z diagnostic-width` was stabilized as `--diagnostic-width` in #95635. It is not entirely clear why the `-Z` flag was kept, but in part its final use was removed in #102216, but the `-Z` flag itself was not removed.
new unstable option: -Zwrite-long-types-to-disk
This option guards the logic of writing long type names in files and instead using short forms in error messages in rustc_middle/ty/error behind a flag. The main motivation for this change is to disable this behaviour when running ui tests.
This logic can be triggered by running tests in a directory that has a long enough path, e.g. /my/very-long-path/where/rust-codebase/exists/
This means ui tests can fail depending on how long the path to their file is.
Some ui tests actually rely on this behaviour for their assertions, so for those we enable the flag manually.

Prototype: Add unstable `-Z reference-niches` option
MCP: rust-lang/compiler-team#641
Relevant RFC: rust-lang/rfcs#3204
This prototype adds a new `-Z reference-niches` option, controlling the range of valid bit-patterns for reference types (`&T` and `&mut T`), thereby enabling new enum niching opportunities. Like `-Z randomize-layout`, this setting is crate-local; as such, references to built-in types (primitives, tuples, ...) are not affected.
The possible settings are (here, `MAX` denotes the all-1 bit-pattern):
| `-Z reference-niches=` | Valid range |
|:---:|:---:|
| `null` (the default) | `1..=MAX` |
| `size` | `1..=(MAX- size)` |
| `align` | `align..=MAX.align_down_to(align)` |
| `size,align` | `align..=(MAX-size).align_down_to(align)` |
------
This is very WIP, and I'm not sure the approach I've taken here is the best one, but stage 1 tests pass locally; I believe this is in a good enough state to unleash this upon unsuspecting 3rd-party code, and see what breaks.
LLVM has a neat [statistics] feature that tracks how often optimizations kick
in. It's very handy for optimization work. Since we expose the LLVM pass
timings, I thought it made sense to expose the LLVM statistics too.

Add simple markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output
This is a second attempt at #104540, which is #63128 without dependencies.
This PR adds basic markdown formatting to `rustc --explain` output when available. Currently, the output just displays raw markdown: this works of course, but it really doesn't look very elegant. (output is `rustc --explain E0038`)
<img width="583" alt="image" src="https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/assets/13724985/ea418117-47af-455b-83c0-6fc59276efee">
After this patch, sample output from the same file:

This also obeys the `--color always/auto/never` command option. Behavior:
- If pager is available and supports color, print with formatting to the pager
- If pager is not available or fails print with formatting to stdout - otherwise without formatting
- Follow `--color always/never` if suppied
- If everything fails, just print plain text to stdout

add flag for enabling global cache usage for proof trees and printing proof trees on error
This adds a few new things:
- `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree=always/never/on-error`
- `always`/`never` were previosuly specifiable by whether the flag exists or not, th new flag is `on_error` which reruns obligations of fulfillment and selection errors with proof tree generation enabled and prints them out
- `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree-uses-cache`
- allows forcing global cache to be used or unused for all generated proof trees, global cache is enabled by default for `always` so that it accurately represents what happend. This flag currently would affect misc uses of `GenerateProofTree::Yes` which will be added in the future for things like diagnostics logic and rustdoc's auto_trait file. We can fix this when we start using proof tree generation for those use cases if it's desirable.
I also changed the output to go straight to stdout instead of going through `debug!` so that `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree` can be adequately used on `nightly` not just a locally built toolchain.
The idea for `on-error` is that it should hopefully make it easier to quickly figure out "why doesnt this code compile"- you just pass in `-Zdump-solver-proof-tree=on-error` and you'll only get proof trees you care about.

Currently, the output of `rustc --explain foo` displays the raw markdown in a
pager. This is acceptable, but using actual formatting makes it easier to
understand.
This patch consists of three major components:
1. A markdown parser. This is an extremely simple non-backtracking recursive
implementation that requires normalization of the final token stream
2. A utility to write the token stream to an output buffer
3. Configuration within rustc_driver_impl to invoke this combination for
`--explain`. Like the current implementation, it first attempts to print to
a pager with a fallback colorized terminal, and standard print as a last
resort.
If color is disabled, or if the output does not support it, or if printing
with color fails, it will write the raw markdown (which matches current
behavior).
Pagers known to support color are: `less` (with `-r`), `bat` (aka `catbat`),
and `delta`.
The markdown parser does not support the entire markdown specification, but
should support the following with reasonable accuracy:
- Headings, including formatting
- Comments
- Code, inline and fenced block (no indented block)
- Strong, emphasis, and strikethrough formatted text
- Links, anchor, inline, and reference-style
- Horizontal rules
- Unordered and ordered list items, including formatting
This parser and writer should be reusable by other systems if ever needed.
Add `-Zremark-dir` unstable flag to write LLVM optimization remarks to YAML
This PR adds an option for `rustc` to emit LLVM optimization remarks to a set of YAML files, which can then be digested by existing tools, like https://github.com/OfekShilon/optview2. When `-Cremark-dir` is passed, and remarks are enabled (`-Cremark=all`), the remarks will be now written to the specified directory, **instead** of being printed to standard error output. The files are named based on the CGU from which they are being generated.
Currently, the remarks are written using the LLVM streaming machinery, directly in the diagnostics handler. It seemed easier than going back to Rust and then form there back to C++ to use the streamer from the diagnostics handler. But there are many ways to implement this, of course, so I'm open to suggestions :)
I included some comments with questions into the code. Also, I'm not sure how to test this.
