Rollup merge of #123423 - kjetilkjeka:llvm_bitcode_linker_component, r=Mark-Simulacrum
Distribute LLVM bitcode linker as a preview component

The self-contained LLVM bitcode linker was recently added in #117458. It is currently only in use to link the Nvidia ptx assembly tests when running rustc tests (local or CI). In fact, the linker itself is currently only usable for the `nvptx64-nvidia-cuda` target, but more targets will be supported in the future.

The reason a new linker was needed for the ptx format is that the [old one](https://github.com/denzp/rust-ptx-linker) has not been updated the last few years. It worked fine for a while, but as LLVM changed it broke and the nvptx tests was [disabled in rustc back in 2019](f8f9a2869c). It was ad-hoc patched and have been used in a sub-optimal state by the community until now.

If this PR is merged, the LLVM bitcode linker will be distributed as a preview component that can be used as a replacement for the old ptx-linker for development in addition to rustc tests. In addition to installing the `llvm-bitcode-linker` component, also the `llvm-tools` component must be installed as the `llvm-bitcode-linker` works by calling llvm tools.

Even though the LLVM bitcode linker is in its early stages it already now provides a lot of value over the old ptx-linker just by working and using up-to-date llvm tooling. By shipping it as a component it will be easier to gather user experience and improving it.

``@petrochenkov`` when installing as a component it will be installed in the self-contained folder and will not work with `-Clink-self-contained=no` (although for some reason I expect to be a bug `-Clink-self-contained=-linker` doesn't properly disable it). However, when building using `x.py build` it will be placed in the `lib/rustlib/<target>/bin` directory and will be available for internal tests even if `-Clink-self-contained=no` is passed.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
