This commit updates the LLVM branch to the rebased version of the
upstream release/8.x branch. This includes a wasm patch which means that
the `rewrite_imports` pass in rustc is no longer needed (yay!) and we
can instead rely on `wasm-import-module`, an attribute we're already
emitting, to take care of all the work.
Cosmetic improvements to doc comments
This has been factored out from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/58036 to only include changes to documentation comments (throughout the rustc codebase).
r? @steveklabnik
Once you're happy with this, maybe we could get it through with r=1, so it doesn't constantly get invalidated? (I'm not sure this will be an issue, but just in case...) Anyway, thanks for your advice so far!
