If the Rust LLVM fork is used, enable the -mergefunc-use-aliases
flag, which will create aliases for merged functions, rather than
inserting a call from one to the other.
A number of codegen tests needed to be adjusted, because functions
that previously fell below the thunk limit are now being merged.
Merging is prevented either using -C no-prepopulate-passes, or by
making the functions non-identical.
I expect that this is going to break something, somewhere, because
it isn't able to deal with aliases properly, but we won't find out
until we try :)
This fixes#52651.
I noticed on a [recent build][1] that the linkchecker stage of CI took a
whopping 15 minutes of CI time for something that should be near
instantaneous. Some local profiling showed some very hot functions and
clones which were pretty easy to remove, and now instead of running in
minutes locally it runs in seconds.

It stop asserts and panics from libstd to automatically
include string output and formatting code.
Use case: developing static executables smaller than 50 kilobytes,
where usual formatting code is excessive while keeping debuggability
in debug mode.
May resolve#54981.

fix futures creating aliasing mutable and shared ref
Fixes the problem described in https://github.com/solson/miri/issues/532#issuecomment-442552764: `set_task_waker` takes a shared reference and puts a copy into the TLS (in a `NonNull`), but `get_task_waker` gets it back out as a mutable reference. That violates "mutable references must not alias anything"!
