Implementation note: The most probable place for users to find
the documentation is at https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/slice/trait.SliceIndex.html
On that page, documentation added to specific methods will not
be visible. As such, I opted to add the comments to the impl blocks
directly.
Helps with #121568.
Make source tarball generation more reproducible
This PR performs several changes to source tarball generation (`x dist rustc-src`) in order to make it more reproducible (in light of the recent "xz backdoor"...). I want to follow up on it with making a separate CI workflow for generating the tarball.
After this PR, running this locally produces identical checksums:
```bash
$ ./x dist rustc-src
$ sha256sum build/dist/rustc-1.79.0-src.tar.gz
$ ./x dist rustc-src
$ sha256sum build/dist/rustc-1.79.0-src.tar.gz
```

pattern analysis: Require enum indices to be contiguous
We had a cfg-hack to allow rust-analyzer to use non-contiguous indices for its enum variants. Unfortunately this no longer works if r-a uses the in-tree version of the crate.
This PR removes the hack, and on the r-a side we'll have to use contiguous indices but that's not too hard.

Stop calling visitors `V`
Renames some visitors which currently have the unhelpful name of `V`. It's not self-documenting, and there is no situation where saving a few bytes in source code helps anyone.
Stacked on top of #123202 due to conflict.
match lowering: sort `Eq` candidates in the failure case too
This is a slight tweak to MIR gen of matches. Take a match like:
```rust
match (s, flag) {
("a", _) if foo() => 1,
("b", true) => 2,
("a", false) => 3,
(_, true) => 4,
_ => 5,
}
```
If we switch on `s == "a"`, the first candidate matches, and we learn almost nothing about the second candidate. So there's a choice:
1. (what we do today) stop sorting candidates, keep the "b" case grouped with everything below. This could allow us to be clever here and test on `flag == true` next.
2. (what this PR does) sort "b" into the failure case. The "b" will be alone (fewer opportunities for picking a good test), but that means the two "a" cases require a single test.
Today, we aren't clever in which tests we pick, so this is an unambiguous win. In a future where we pick tests better, idk. Grouping tests as much as possible feels like a generally good strategy.
This was proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29623 (9 years ago :D)
run GC stress test only for host tests
I suspect these are a significant contributor to our Linux CI job being by far the slowest currently. Let's see.
We have Linux, Windows, and macOS hosts so all major OSes are still covered.
CFI: Abstract Closures and Coroutines
This will abstract coroutines in a moment, it's just abstracting closures for now to show `@rcvalle`
This uses the same principal as the methods on traits - figure out the `dyn` type representing the fn trait, instantiate it, and attach that alias set. We're essentially just computing how we would be called in a dynamic context, and attaching that.
Similar to methods on a trait object, the most common way to indirectly
call a closure or coroutine is through the vtable on the appropriate
trait. This uses the same approach as we use for trait methods, after
backing out the trait arguments from the type.
