Nicholas Nethercote de1914af34 Avoid an unnecessary use of SmallStr.
I don't know why `SmallStr` was used here; some ad hoc profiling showed
this code is not that hot, the string is usually empty, and when it's
not empty it's usually very short. However, the use of a
`SmallStr<1024>` does result in 1024 byte `memcpy` call on each
execution, which shows up when I do `memcpy` profiling. So using a
normal string makes the code both simpler and very slightly faster.

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.
