Improve VecCache under parallel frontend
This replaces the single Vec allocation with a series of progressively larger buckets. With the cfg for parallel enabled but with -Zthreads=1, this looks like a slight regression in i-count and cycle counts (~1%).
With the parallel frontend at -Zthreads=4, this is an improvement (-5% wall-time from 5.788 to 5.4688 on libcore) than our current Lock-based approach, likely due to reducing the bouncing of the cache line holding the lock. At -Zthreads=32 it's a huge improvement (-46%: 8.829 -> 4.7319 seconds).

Delete the `cfg(not(parallel))` serial compiler
Since it's inception a long time ago, the parallel compiler and its cfgs have been a maintenance burden. This was a necessary evil the allow iteration while not degrading performance because of synchronization overhead.
But this time is over. Thanks to the amazing work by the parallel working group (and the dyn sync crimes), the parallel compiler has now been fast enough to be shipped by default in nightly for quite a while now.
Stable and beta have still been on the serial compiler, because they can't use `-Zthreads` anyways.
But this is quite suboptimal:
- the maintenance burden still sucks
- we're not testing the serial compiler in nightly
Because of these reasons, it's time to end it. The serial compiler has served us well in the years since it was split from the parallel one, but it's over now.

#113349
Note that the default is still 1 thread, as more than 1 thread is still fairly broken.
cc `@onur-ozkan` to see if i did the bootstrap field removal correctly, `@SparrowLii` on the sync parts

No longer track "zero-width" chars in `SourceMap`, read directly from the line when calculating the `display_col` of a `BytePos`. Move `char_width` to `rustc_span` and use it from the emitter.
This change allows the following to properly align in terminals (depending on the font, the replaced control codepoints are rendered as 1 or 2 width, on my terminal they are rendered as 1, on VSCode text they are rendered as 2):
