Partial support for raw-dylib linkage
First cut of functionality for issue #58713: add support for `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on `extern` blocks in lib crates compiled to .rlib files. Does not yet support `#[link_name]` attributes on functions, or the `#[link_ordinal]` attribute, or `#[link(kind = "raw-dylib")]` on `extern` blocks in bin crates; I intend to publish subsequent PRs to fill those gaps. It's also not yet clear whether this works for functions in `extern "stdcall"` blocks; I also intend to investigate that shortly and make any necessary changes as a follow-on PR.
This implementation calls out to an LLVM function to construct the actual `.idata` sections as temporary `.lib` files on disk and then links those into the generated .rlib.
BPF target support
This adds `bpfel-unknown-none` and `bpfeb-unknown-none`, two new no_std targets that generate little and big endian BPF. The approach taken is very similar to the cuda target, where `TargetOptions::obj_is_bitcode` is enabled and code generation is done by the linker.
I added the targets to `dist-various-2`. There are [some tests](https://github.com/alessandrod/bpf-linker/tree/main/tests/assembly) in bpf-linker and I'm planning to add more. Those are currently not ran as part of rust CI.
Remove special handling of `box_free` from `LocalAnalyzer`
The special casing of `box_free` predates the use of dominators in
analyzer. It is no longer necessary now that analyzer verifies that
the first assignment dominates all uses.
This does not yet support #[link_name] attributes on functions, the #[link_ordinal]
attribute, #[link(kind = "raw-dylib")] on extern blocks in bin crates, or
stdcall functions on 32-bit x86.
rustc: Store metadata-in-rlibs in object files
This commit updates how rustc compiler metadata is stored in rlibs.
Previously metadata was stored as a raw file that has the same format as
`--emit metadata`. After this commit, however, the metadata is encoded
into a small object file which has one section which is the contents of
the metadata.
The motivation for this commit is to fix a common case where #83730
arises. The problem is that when rustc crates a `dylib` crate type it
needs to include entire rlib files into the dylib, so it passes
`--whole-archive` (or the equivalent) to the linker. The problem with
this, though, is that the linker will attempt to read all files in the
archive. If the metadata file were left as-is (today) then the linker
would generate an error saying it can't read the file. The previous
solution was to alter the rlib just before linking, creating a new
archive in a temporary directory which has the metadata file removed.
This problem from before this commit is now removed if the metadata file
is stored in an object file that the linker can read. The only caveat we
have to take care of is to ensure that the linker never actually
includes the contents of the object file into the final output. We apply
similar tricks as the `.llvmbc` bytecode sections to do this.
This involved changing the metadata loading code a bit, namely updating
some of the LLVM C APIs used to use non-deprecated ones and fiddling
with the lifetimes a bit to get everything to work out. Otherwise though
this isn't intended to be a functional change really, only that metadata
is stored differently in archives now.
This should end up fixing #83730 because by default dylibs will no
longer have their rlib dependencies "altered" meaning that
split-debuginfo will continue to have valid paths pointing at the
original rlibs. (note that we still "alter" rlibs if LTO is enabled to
remove Rust object files and we also "alter" for the #[link(cfg)]
feature, but that's rarely used).
Closes#83730

Reland - Report coverage `0` of dead blocks
Fixes: #84018
With `-Z instrument-coverage`, coverage reporting of dead blocks
(for example, blocks dropped because a conditional branch is dropped,
based on const evaluation) is now supported.
Note, this PR relands an earlier, reverted PR that failed when compiling
generators. The prior issues with generators has been resolved and a new
test was added to prevent future regressions.
Check out the resulting changes to test coverage of dead blocks in the
test coverage reports in this PR.

Remove unused feature gates
The first commit removes a usage of a feature gate, but I don't expect it to be controversial as the feature gate was only used to workaround a limitation of rust in the past. (closures never being `Clone`)
The second commit uses `#[allow_internal_unstable]` to avoid leaking the `trusted_step` feature gate usage from inside the index newtype macro. It didn't work for the `min_specialization` feature gate though.
The third commit removes (almost) all feature gates from the compiler that weren't used anyway.
Previously, we would generate a single struct with the layout of the
dataful variant plus an extra field whose name contained the value of
the niche (this would only really work for things like `Option<&_>`
where we can determine that the `None` case maps to `0` but for enums
that have multiple tag only variants, this doesn't work).
Now, we generate a union of two structs, one which is the layout of the
dataful variant and one which just has a way of reading the
discriminant. We also generate an enum which maps the discriminant value
to the tag only variants.
We also encode information about the range of values which correspond to
the dataful variant in the type name and then use natvis to determine
which union field we should display to the user.
As a result of this change, all niche-layout enums render correctly in
WinDbg and Visual Studio!

Update cc
Recent commits have improved `cc`'s finding of MSVC tools on Windows. In particular it should help to address these issues: #83043 and #43468
Update list of allowed aarch64 features
I recently added these features to std_detect for aarch64 linux, pending [review](https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1146).
I have commented any features not supported by LLVM 9, the current minimum version for Rust. Some (PAuth at least) were renamed between 9 & 12 and I've left them disabled. TME, however, is not in LLVM 9 but I've left it enabled.

Only pass --[no-]gc-sections if linker is GNU ld.
Fixes a regression from #84468 where linking now fails with solaris linkers. LinkerFlavor::Gcc does not always mean GNU ld specifically. And in the case of at least the solaris ld in illumos, that flag is unrecognized and will cause the linking step to fail.
Even though removing the `is_like_solaris` branch from `gc_sections` in #84468 made sense as `-z ignore/record` are more analogous to the `--[no-]-as-needed` flags, it inadvertently caused solaris linkers to be passed the `--gc-sections` flag. So let's just change it to be more explicit about when we pass those flags.
Remove CrateNum parameter for queries that only work on local crate
The pervasive `CrateNum` parameter is a remnant of the multi-crate rustc idea.
Using `()` as query key in those cases avoids having to worry about the validity of the query key.
Remove support for floating-point constants in asm!
Floating-point constants aren't very useful anyways and this simplifies
the code since the type check can now be done in typeck.

rustc_codegen_ssa: generate MSVC cleanup pads on demand, like GNU landing pads.
This unblocks #84993 in terms of codegen tests, as it brings the MSVC-style (`cleanup_pad`) EH (LLVM) block order in line with the GNU-style (`landing_pad`) EH (LLVM) block order, by having both of them be on-demand (instead of MSVC-style being eager and GNU-style lazy/on-demand).
It also unifies the two implementations a bit, similar to #84699, but in the opposite direction (as that attempt made both kinds of EH pads eagerly built).
~~Opening as draft because I haven't done enough Windows testing just yet, of both this PR, and of #84993 rebased on it.~~ (**EDIT**: seems to be working as expected)

coverage bug fixes and some refactoring
This replaces the relevant commits (2 and 3) from PR #85082, and also corrects an error querying for coverageinfo.
1. `coverageinfo` query needs to use the same MIR as codegen
I ran into an error trying to fix dead block coverage and realized the
`coverageinfo` query is getting a different MIR compared to the
codegenned MIR, which can sometimes be a problem during mapgen.
I changed that query to use the `InstandeDef` (which includes the
generic parameter substitutions, prosibly specific to const params)
instead of the `DefId` (without unknown/default const substitutions).
2. Simplified body_span and filtered span code
Some code cleanup extracted from future (but unfinished) commit to fix
coverage in attr macro functions.
3. Spanview needs the relevant body_span used for coverage
The coverage body_span doesn't always match the function body_span.

Use the object crate for metadata reading
This allows sharing the metadata reader between cg_llvm, cg_clif and other codegen backends.
This is not currently useful for rlib reading with cg_spirv ([rust-gpu](https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/rust-gpu/)) as it uses tar rather than ar as .rlib format, but it is useful for dylib reading required for loading proc macros. (cc `@eddyb)`
The object crate is already trusted as dependency of libstd through backtrace. As far as I know it supports reading all object file formats used by targets for which we support rust dylibs with crate metadata, but I am not certain. If this happens to not be the case, I could keep using LLVM for reading dylib metadata.
Marked as WIP for a perf run and as it is based on #83637.
