bors 6bda5b331c Auto merge of #90716 - euclio:libloading, r=cjgillot 
replace dynamic library module with libloading

This PR deletes the `rustc_metadata::dynamic_lib` module in favor of the popular and better tested [`libloading` crate](https://github.com/nagisa/rust_libloading/).

We don't benefit from `libloading`'s symbol lifetimes since we end up leaking the loaded library in all cases, but the call-sites look much nicer by improving error handling and abstracting away some transmutes. We also can remove `rustc_metadata`'s direct dependencies on `libc` and `winapi`.

This PR also adds an exception for `libloading` (and its license) to tidy, so this will need sign-off from the compiler team.

README.md

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
