117984b884 rustc: Start "stabilizing" some flags
This commit shuffles around some CLI flags of the compiler to some more stable
locations with some renamings. The changes made were:

* The `-v` flag has been repurposes as the "verbose" flag. The version flag has
  been renamed to `-V`.
* The `-h` screen has been split into two parts. Most top-level options (not
  all) show with `-h`, and the remaining options (generally obscure) can be
  shown with `--help -v` which is a "verbose help screen"
* The `-V` flag (version flag now) has lost its argument as it is now requested
  with `rustc -vV` "verbose version".
* The `--emit` option has had its `ir` and `bc` variants renamed to `llvm-ir`
  and `llvm-bc` to emphasize that they are LLVM's IR/bytecode.
* The `--emit` option has grown a new variant, `dep-info`, which subsumes the
  `--dep-info` CLI argument. The `--dep-info` flag is now deprecated.
* The `--parse-only`, `--no-trans`, and `--no-analysis` flags have
  moved behind the `-Z` family of flags.
* The `--debuginfo` and `--opt-level` flags were moved behind the top-level `-C`
  flag.
* The `--print-file-name` and `--print-crate-name` flags were moved behind one
  global `--print` flag which now accepts one of `crate-name`, `file-names`, or
  `sysroot`. This global `--print` flag is intended to serve as a mechanism for
  learning various metadata about the compiler itself.

No warnings are currently enabled to allow tools like Cargo to have time to
migrate to the new flags before spraying warnings to all users.
