`opaque::Decoder::read_str` is very hot within `rustc` due to its use in
the reading of crate metadata, and it currently returns a `String`. This
commit changes it to instead return a `Cow<str>`, which avoids a heap
allocation.
This change reduces the number of calls to `malloc` by almost 10% in
some benchmarks.
This is a [breaking-change] to libserialize.
rustc: Rename rustc_macro to proc_macro
This commit blanket renames the `rustc_macro` infrastructure to `proc_macro`,
which reflects the general consensus of #35900. A follow up PR to Cargo will be
required to purge the `rustc-macro` name as well.

Enforce the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560 for today's macros
This PR enforces a weakened version of the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560. More specifically,
- If a macro expansion contains a `macro_rules!` macro definition that is used outside of the expansion, the defined macro may not shadow an existing macro.
- If a macro expansion contains a `#[macro_use] extern crate` macro import that is used outside of the expansion, the imported macro may not shadow an existing macro.
This is a [breaking-change]. For example,
```rust
macro_rules! m { () => {} }
macro_rules! n { () => {
macro_rules! m { () => {} } //< This shadows an existing macro.
m!(); //< This is inside the expansion that generated `m`'s definition, so it is OK.
} }
n!();
m!(); //< This use of `m` is outside the expansion, so it causes the shadowing to be an error.
```

Previously the `env!("RUSTC_VERSION")` requirement would break the
"Documenting rustc_metadata" stage of the rustc build, since that
environment variable is only defined during the main build.
add a panic-strategy field to the target specification
Now a target can define its panic strategy in its specification. If a
user doesn't specify a panic strategy via the command line, i.e. '-C
panic', then the compiler will use the panic strategy defined by the
target specification.
Custom targets can pick their panic strategy via the "panic-strategy"
field of their target specification JSON file. If omitted in the
specification, the strategy defaults to "unwind".

I checked that compiling an executable for a custom target with "panic-strategy" set to "abort" doesn't need the "eh_personality" lang item and also that standard crates compiled for that custom target didn't contained undefined symbols to _Unwind_Resume. But this needs an actual unit test, any suggestion on how to test this?
Most of the noise in the diff is due to moving `PanicStrategy` from the `rustc` to the `rustc_back` crate.
