this flag lets you pass a _single_ argument to the linker but can be
used _repeatedly_. For example, instead of using:
```
rustc -C link-args='-l bar' (..)
```
you could write
```
rustc -C link-arg='-l' -C link-arg='bar' (..)
```
This new flag can be used with RUSTFLAGS where `-C link-args` has
problems with "nested" spaces:
```
RUSTFLAGS='-C link-args="-Tlayout.ld -nostartfiles"'
```
This passes three arguments to rustc: `-C` `link-args="-Tlayout.ld` and
`-nostartfiles"` to `rustc`. That's not what we meant. But this does
what we want:
```
RUSTFLAGS='-C link-arg=-Tlayout.ld -C link-arg=-nostartfiles`
```

Optimize the parser's last token handling.
The parser currently makes a heap copy of the last token in four cases:
identifiers, paths, doc comments, and commas. The identifier and
interpolation cases are unused, and for doc comments and commas we only
need to record their presence, not their value.
This commit consolidates the last token handling and avoids the
unnecessary copies by replacing `last_token`, `last_token_eof`, and
`last_token_interpolated` with a new field `last_token_kind`. This
simplifies the parser slightly and speeds up parsing on some files by
3--4%.
* We never want to make guarantees about protecting against attacks.
* "True randomness" is not the right terminology to be using in this
context.
* There is significantly more nuance to the performance of SipHash than
"somewhat slow".
librustc_mir: Remove `&*x` when `x` has a reference type.
This introduces a new `InstCombine` pass for us to place such peephole
optimizations.

Remove data structure specialization for .zip() iterator
Go back on half the specialization, the part that changed the Zip
struct's fields themselves depending on the types of the iterators.
Previous PR: #33090
This means that the Zip iterator will always carry two usize fields,
which are sometimes unused. If a whole for loop using a .zip() iterator is
inlined, these are simply removed and have no effect.
The same improvement for Zip of for example slice iterators remain, and
they still optimize well. However, like when the specialization of zip
was merged, the compiler is still very sensistive to the exact context.
For example this code only autovectorizes if the function is used, not
if the code in zip_sum_i32 is inserted inline where it was called:
```rust
fn zip_sum_i32(xs: &[i32], ys: &[i32]) -> i32 {
let mut s = 0;
for (&x, &y) in xs.iter().zip(ys) {
s += x * y;
}
s
}
fn zipdot_i32_default_zip(b: &mut test::Bencher)
{
let xs = vec![1; 1024];
let ys = vec![1; 1024];
b.iter(|| {
zip_sum_i32(&xs, &ys)
})
}
```
Include a test that checks that `Zip<T, U>` is covariant w.r.t. T and U.
Fixes#35727
Overhaul char_lit()
This commit does the following.
- Removes parsing support for '\X12', '\u123456' and '\U12345678' char
literals. These are no longer valid Rust and rejected by the lexer.
(This strange-sounding situation occurs because the parser rescans
char literals to compute their value.)
- Rearranges the function so that all the escaped values are handled in
a single `match`. The error-handling strategy is based on the one used
by byte_lit().
Avoid loading and parsing unconfigured non-inline modules.
For example, `#[cfg(any())] mod foo;` will always compile after this PR, even if `foo.rs` and `foo/mod.rs` do not exist or do not contain valid Rust.
Fixes#36478 and fixes#27873.

trans: Let the collector find drop-glue for all vtables, not just VTableImpl.
This fixes#36260. So far, the collector has only recorded drop-glue for insertion into a vtable if the vtable was for an impl. But there's actually no reason why it shouldn't do just the same for closure vtables, afaict.
