Ramon de C Valle 65698ae9f3 Add LLVM KCFI support to the Rust compiler
This commit adds LLVM Kernel Control Flow Integrity (KCFI) support to
the Rust compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow
protection for operating systems kernels for Rust-compiled code only by
aggregating function pointers in groups identified by their return and
parameter types. (See llvm/llvm-project@cff5bef.)

Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled
code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code
share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as
part of this project by identifying C char and integer type uses at the
time types are encoded (see Type metadata in the design document in the
tracking issue #89653).

LLVM KCFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=kcfi.

This directory currently contains some LLVM support code. This will generally
be sent upstream to LLVM in time; for now it lives here.

NOTE: the LLVM C++ ABI is subject to between-version breakage and must *never*
be exposed to Rust. To allow for easy auditing of that, all Rust-exposed types
must be typedef-ed as "LLVMXyz", or "LLVMRustXyz" if they were defined here.

Functions that return a failure status and leave the error in
the LLVM last error should return an LLVMRustResult rather than an
int or anything to avoid confusion.

When translating enums, add a single `Other` variant as the first
one to allow for new variants to be added. It should abort when used
as an input.

All other types must not be typedef-ed as such.
