This deduplicates some logic and makes it easier to follow what wrappers
are produced. In the future it may allow moving the code to determine
which wrappers to create to cg_ssa.
These tend to have special handling in a bunch of places anyway, so the variant helps remember that. And I think it's easier to grok than non-Scalar Aggregates sometimes being `Immediates` (like I got wrong and caused 109992). As a minor bonus, it means we don't need to generate poison LLVM values for them to pass around in `OperandValue::Immediate`s.
Optimize scalar and scalar pair representations loaded from ByRef in llvm
in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105653 I noticed that we were generating suboptimal LLVM IR if we had a `ConstValue::ByRef` that could be represented by a `ScalarPair`. Before https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105653 this is probably rare, but after it, every slice will go down this suboptimal code path that requires LLVM to untangle a bunch of indirections and translate static allocations that are only used once to read a scalar pair from.
Support #[global_allocator] without the allocator shim
This makes it possible to use liballoc/libstd in combination with `--emit obj` if you use `#[global_allocator]`. This is what rust-for-linux uses right now and systemd may use in the future. Currently they have to depend on the exact implementation of the allocator shim to create one themself as `--emit obj` doesn't create an allocator shim.
Note that currently the allocator shim also defines the oom error handler, which is normally required too. Once `#![feature(default_alloc_error_handler)]` becomes the only option, this can be avoided. In addition when using only fallible allocator methods and either `--cfg no_global_oom_handling` for liballoc (like rust-for-linux) or `--gc-sections` no references to the oom error handler will exist.
To avoid this feature being insta-stable, you will have to define `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` to avoid linker errors.
(Labeling this with both T-compiler and T-lang as it originally involved both an implementation detail and had an insta-stable user facing change. As noted above, the `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` symbol requirement should prevent unintended dependence on this unstable feature.)
