`EarlyBinder::new` -> `EarlyBinder::bind`
for consistency with `Binder::bind`. it may make sense to also add `EarlyBinder::dummy` in places where we know that no parameters exist, but I left that out of this PR.

Add build instructions for cranelift backend as part of Rust repo
All other instructions assume that user works with separate repository than Rust compiler repository. When one follows default instructions, cranelift codegen tries to use different sys-root and compiler internal crates which leads to compiler errors when building it.
I needed to do all this steps while adding new intrinsic to rustc.

Support #[global_allocator] without the allocator shim
This makes it possible to use liballoc/libstd in combination with `--emit obj` if you use `#[global_allocator]`. This is what rust-for-linux uses right now and systemd may use in the future. Currently they have to depend on the exact implementation of the allocator shim to create one themself as `--emit obj` doesn't create an allocator shim.
Note that currently the allocator shim also defines the oom error handler, which is normally required too. Once `#![feature(default_alloc_error_handler)]` becomes the only option, this can be avoided. In addition when using only fallible allocator methods and either `--cfg no_global_oom_handling` for liballoc (like rust-for-linux) or `--gc-sections` no references to the oom error handler will exist.
To avoid this feature being insta-stable, you will have to define `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` to avoid linker errors.
(Labeling this with both T-compiler and T-lang as it originally involved both an implementation detail and had an insta-stable user facing change. As noted above, the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` symbol requirement should prevent unintended dependence on this unstable feature.)
This avoids building cranelift twice in rust's CI and is a lot easier
than trying to make building of codegen backends work from within a
cargo invocation done by rust's build system.
