coverage: Prepare for improved branch coverage
When trying to rebase my new branch coverage work (including #124154) on top of the introduction of MC/DC coverage (#123409), I found it a lot harder than anticipated. With the benefit of hindsight, the branch coverage code and MC/DC code have become more interdependent than I'm happy with.
This PR therefore disentangles them a bit, so that it will be easier for both areas of code to evolve independently without interference.
---
This PR also includes a few extra branch coverage tests that I had sitting around from my current branch coverage work. They mostly just demonstrate that certain language constructs listed in #124118 currently don't have branch coverage support.

[cleanup] [llvm backend] Prevent creating the same `Instance::mono` multiple times
Just a little thing I came across while going through the code.

checked_ilog: improve performance
Addresses #115874.
(This PR replicates the original #115875, which I accidentally closed by deleting my forked repository...)
Ignore `-C strip` on MSVC
tl;dr - Define `-Cstrip` to only ever affect the binary; no other build artifacts.
This is necessary to improve cross-platform behavior consistency: if someone wanted debug information to be contained only in separate files on all platforms, they would set `-Cstrip=symbols` and `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`, but this would result in no PDB files on MSVC.
Resolves#114215
This clears the way for larger changes to how branches are handled by the
coverage instrumentor, in order to support branch coverage for more language
constructs.

bootstrap: Promote some build_steps comments to docs
No new content, just makes some comments readable when viewing the docs with `--document-private-items`.
Fix ICE when there is a non-Unicode entry in the incremental crate directory
Fix the ICE that occurs when there is a non-Unicode entry in the incremental crate directory by replacing uses of `to_string_lossy` + `assert_no_characters_lost` with `to_str`. The added test would cause the compiler to ICE before this PR.
Add an intrinsic for `ptr::from_raw_parts(_mut)`

r? `@cjgillot`
As suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/123190#issuecomment-2028717967, this adds a new `AggregateKind::RawPtr` for creating a pointer from its data pointer and its metadata.
That means that `slice::from_raw_parts` and friends no longer need to hard-code pointer layout into `libcore`, and because it no longer does union hacks the MIR is shorter and more amenable to optimizations.
fix normalizing in different `ParamEnv`s with the same `InferCtxt`
This PR changes the key of the projection cache from just `AliasTy` to `(AliasTy, ParamEnv)` to allow normalizing in different `ParamEnv`s without resetting caches. Previously, normalizing the same alias in different param envs would always reuse the cached result from the first normalization, which is incorrect if the projection clauses in the param env have changed.
Fixing this bug allows us to get rid of `InferCtxt::clear_caches`, which was only used by the `AutoTraitFinder`, because it requires normalizing in different param envs.

Fix trait solver overflow with `non_local_definitions` lint
This PR fixes the trait solver overflow with the `non_local_definitions` lint reported in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/123573 using the suggestion from `@lcnr:` https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/123573#issuecomment-2041348320 to use the next trait solver.
~~I have not (yet) tried to create a minimized repro~~ ``@compiler-errors`` did the minimization (thanks you) but I have manually tested on the `starlark-rust` project that it fixes the issue.
Fixes#123573
