rustc 1.30.0's linker flavor inference is a non-backwards compat change to -Clinker
Part of #55396.
This commit modifies linker flavor inference to only remove the extension
to the linker when performing inference if that extension is a 'exe'.

Reuse the `P` in `InvocationCollector::fold_{,opt_}expr`.
This requires adding a new method, `P::filter_map`.
This commit reduces instruction counts for various benchmarks by up to
0.7%.
Add TryFrom<&[T]> for [T; $N] where T: Copy
`TryFrom<&[T]> for &[T; $N]` (note *reference* to an array) already exists, but not needing to dereference makes type inference easier for example when using `u32::from_be_bytes`.
Also add doc examples doing just that.
Assorted tweaks
- preallocate `VecDeque` in `Decodable::decode` (as it is done with other collections which can do it)
- add a FIXME to `String::from_utf16`

Use sort_by_cached_key when the key function is not trivial/free
I'm not 100% sure about `def_path_hash` (everything it does is inlined) but it seems like a good idea at least for the rest, as they are cloning.
Decouple proc_macro from the rest of the compiler.
This PR removes all dependencies of `proc_macro` on compiler crates and allows multiple copies of `proc_macro`, built even by different compilers (but from the same source), to interoperate.
Practically, it allows:
* running proc macro tests at stage1 (I moved most from `-fulldeps` to the regular suites)
* using proc macros in the compiler itself (may require some rustbuild trickery)
On the server (i.e. compiler front-end) side:
* `server::*` traits are implemented to provide the concrete types and methods
* the concrete types are completely separated from the `proc_macro` public API
* the only use of the type implementing `Server` is to be passed to `Client::run`
On the client (i.e. proc macro) side (potentially using a different `proc_macro` instance!):
* `client::Client` wraps around client-side (expansion) function pointers
* it encapsulates the `proc_macro` instance used by the client
* its `run` method can be called by a server, to execute the client-side function
* the client instance is bridged to the provided server, while it runs
* ~~currently a thread is spawned, could use process isolation in the future~~
(not the case anymore, see #56058)
* proc macro crates get a generated `static` holding a `&[ProcMacro]`
* this describes all derives/attr/bang proc macros, replacing the "registrar" function
* each variant of `ProcMacro` contains an appropriately typed `Client<fn(...) -> ...>`
`proc_macro` public APIs call into the server via an internal "bridge":
* only a currently running proc macro `Client` can interact with those APIs
* server code might not be able to (if it uses a different `proc_macro` instance)
* however, it can always create and `run` its own `Client`, but that may be inefficient
* the `bridge` uses serialization, C ABI and integer handles to avoid Rust ABI instability
* each invocation of a proc macro results in disjoint integers in its `proc_macro` handles
* this prevents using values of those types across invocations (if they even can be kept)
