rework `-Zverbose`

implements the changes described in https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/706

the first commit is only a name change from `-Zverbose` to `-Zverbose-internals` and does not change behavior. the second commit changes diagnostics.

possible follow up work:
- `ty::pretty` could print more info with `--verbose` than it does currently. `-Z verbose-internals` shows too much info in a way that's not helpful to users. michael had ideas about this i didn't fully understand: https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/233931-t-compiler.2Fmajor-changes/topic/uplift.20some.20-Zverbose.20calls.20and.20rename.20to.E2.80.A6.20compiler-team.23706/near/408984200
- `--verbose` should imply `-Z write-long-types-to-disk=no`. the code in `ty_string_with_limit` should take `--verbose` into account (apparently this affects `Ty::sort_string`, i'm not familiar with this code). writing a file to disk should suggest passing `--verbose`.

README.md Rename rustc_driver to rustc_driver_impl 2023-02-02 07:12:10 +01:00

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

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