Rollup merge of #93144 - wesleywiser:uninhabited_type_code_cov2, r=tmandry 
Work around missing code coverage data causing llvm-cov failures

If we do not add code coverage instrumentation to the `Body` of a
function, then when we go to generate the function record for it, we
won't write any data and this later causes llvm-cov to fail when
processing data for the entire coverage report.

I've identified two main cases where we do not currently add code
coverage instrumentation to the `Body` of a function:

  1. If the function has a single `BasicBlock` and it ends with a
     `TerminatorKind::Unreachable`.

  2. If the function is created using a proc macro of some kind.

For case 1, this is typically not important as this most often occurs as
a result of function definitions that take or return uninhabited
types. These kinds of functions, by definition, cannot even be called so
they logically should not be counted in code coverage statistics.

For case 2, I haven't looked into this very much but I've noticed while
testing this patch that (other than functions which are covered by case
1) the skipped function coverage debug message is occasionally triggered
in large crate graphs by functions generated from a proc macro. This may
have something to do with weird spans being generated by the proc macro
but this is just a guess.

I think it's reasonable to land this change since currently, we fail to
generate *any* results from llvm-cov when a function has no coverage
instrumentation applied to it. With this change, we get coverage data
for all functions other than the two cases discussed above.

Fixes #93054 which occurs because of uncallable functions which shouldn't
have code coverage anyway.

I will open an issue for missing code coverage of proc macro generated
functions and leave a link here once I have a more minimal repro.

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.
