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.
Let the knight slay one head of the two-headed dragon!
#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

This ensures the version of time used in rustc includes this change:
https://github.com/time-rs/time/pull/671.
This fix is a necessary prerequisite for #99969,
which adds FromIterator implementations for Box<str>.
Previously, time had an Into::into that resolved to the identity impl
followed by a collect::<Result<Box<_>, _>>().
With the new FromIterator implementations for Box<str>,
the Into::into resolution is ambiguous and time fails to compile.
The fix removes the identity Into::into conversion,
allowing time to compile with the new FromIterator implementations.
This version of time also matches what cargo recently switched to
in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/13834.
WASM fundamentally doesn't support signals. If WASI ever gets support
for notifying the guest process of a Ctrl-C that happened, this would
have to be done through the guest process polling for the signal, which
will require thread support in WASI too to be compatible with the api
provided by the ctrlc crate.
Error codes are integers, but `String` is used everywhere to represent
them. Gross!
This commit introduces `ErrCode`, an integral newtype for error codes,
replacing `String`. It also introduces a constant for every error code,
e.g. `E0123`, and removes the `error_code!` macro. The constants are
imported wherever used with `use rustc_errors::codes::*`.
With the old code, we have three different ways to specify an error code
at a use point:
```
error_code!(E0123) // macro call
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // bare ident arg to macro call
\#[diag(name, code = "E0123")] // string
struct Diag;
```
With the new code, they all use the `E0123` constant.
```
E0123 // constant
struct_span_code_err!(dcx, span, E0123, "msg"); // constant
\#[diag(name, code = E0123)] // constant
struct Diag;
```
The commit also changes the structure of the error code definitions:
- `rustc_error_codes` now just defines a higher-order macro listing the
used error codes and nothing else.
- Because that's now the only thing in the `rustc_error_codes` crate, I
moved it into the `lib.rs` file and removed the `error_codes.rs` file.
- `rustc_errors` uses that macro to define everything, e.g. the error
code constants and the `DIAGNOSTIC_TABLES`. This is in its new
`codes.rs` file.
They've been deprecated for four years.
This commit includes the following changes.
- It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate.
- It changes the language used for lints in
`compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called
"loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old
plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`.
- E0457 and E0498 are no longer used.
- E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins.
- The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed".
- It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book.
- It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in
`tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`.
Closes#29597.
- Sort dependencies and features sections.
- Add `tidy` markers to the sorted sections so they stay sorted.
- Remove empty `[lib`] sections.
- Remove "See more keys..." comments.
Excluded files:
- rustc_codegen_{cranelift,gcc}, because they're external.
- rustc_lexer, because it has external use.
- stable_mir, because it has external use.
Implement rust-lang/compiler-team#578.
When an ICE is encountered on nightly releases, the new rustc panic
handler will also write the contents of the backtrace to disk. If any
`delay_span_bug`s are encountered, their backtrace is also added to the
file. The platform and rustc version will also be collected.
Fluent, with all the icu4x it brings in, takes quite some time to
compile. `fluent_messages!` is only needed in further downstream rustc
crates, but is blocking more upstream crates like `rustc_index`. By
splitting it out, we allow `rustc_macros` to be compiled earlier, which
speeds up `x check compiler` by about 5 seconds (and even more after the
needless dependency on `serde_json` is removed from
`rustc_data_structures`).
Instead of loading the Fluent resources for every crate in
`rustc_error_messages`, each crate generates typed identifiers for its
own diagnostics and creates a static which are pulled together in the
`rustc_driver` crate and provided to the diagnostic emitter.

Most tests involving save-analysis were removed, but I kept a few where
the `-Zsave-analysis` was an add-on to the main thing being tested,
rather than the main thing being tested.
For `x.py install`, the `rust-analysis` target has been removed.
For `x.py dist`, the `rust-analysis` target has been kept in a
degenerate form: it just produces a single file `reduced.json`
indicating that save-analysis has been removed. This is necessary for
rustup to keep working.
Closes#43606.
