1. It captured stdout and not stderr
2. It isn't used anywhere
3. All error messages should go to the DiagnosticOutput instead
4. It modifies thread local state
This ensures that it is called even when run_in_thread_pool_with_globals
is avoided and reduces code duplication between the parallel and
non-parallel version of run_in_thread_pool_with_globals
Fixes#73026

The issue stems from a `FatalError` being silently raised in
`panictry_buffer`. Normally this is not a problem, because
`panictry_buffer` emits the causes of the error, but they are not
themselves fatal, so they get filtered out by the silent emitter.
To fix this, we use a parser entrypoint which doesn't use
`panictry_buffer`, and we handle the error ourselves.
Report fatal lexer errors in `--cfg` command line arguments
Fixes#89358. The erroneous behavior was apparently introduced by `@Mark-Simulacrum` in a678e31911; the idea is to silence individual parser errors and instead emit one catch-all error message after parsing. However, for the example in #89358, a fatal lexer error is created here:
edebf77e00/compiler/rustc_parse/src/lexer/mod.rs (L340-L349)
This fatal error aborts the compilation, and so the call to `new_parser_from_source_str()` never returns and the catch-all error message is never emitted. I have therefore changed the `SilentEmitter` to silence only non-fatal errors; with my changes, for the rustc invocation described in #89358:
```sh
rustc --cfg "abc\""
```
I get the following output:
```
error[E0765]: unterminated double quote string
|
= note: this error occurred on the command line: `--cfg=abc"`
```
