Add a new `compare_bytes` intrinsic instead of calling `memcmp` directly
As discussed in #113435, this lets the backends be the place that can have the "don't call the function if n == 0" logic, if it's needed for the target. (I didn't actually *add* those checks, though, since as I understood it we didn't actually need them on known targets?)
Doing this also let me make it `const` (unstable), which I don't think `extern "C" fn memcmp` can be.

Resurrect: rustc_target: Add alignment to indirectly-passed by-value types, correcting the alignment of byval on x86 in the process.
Same as #111551, which I [accidentally closed](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/111551#issuecomment-1571222612) :/

This resurrects PR #103830, which has sat idle for a while.
Beyond #103830, this also:
- fixes byval alignment for types containing vectors on Darwin (see `tests/codegen/align-byval-vector.rs`)
- fixes byval alignment for overaligned types on x86 Windows (see `tests/codegen/align-byval.rs`)
- fixes ABI for types with 128bit requested alignment on ARM64 Linux (see `tests/codegen/aarch64-struct-align-128.rs`)

`@pcwalton's` original PR description is reproduced below:
Commit 88e4d2c from five years ago removed
support for alignment on indirectly-passed arguments because of problems with
the `i686-pc-windows-msvc` target. Unfortunately, the `memcpy` optimizations I
recently added to LLVM 16 depend on this to forward `memcpy`s. This commit
attempts to fix the problems with `byval` parameters on that target and now
correctly adds the `align` attribute.
The problem is summarized in [this comment] by `@eddyb.` Briefly, 32-bit x86 has
special alignment rules for `byval` parameters: for the most part, their
alignment is forced to 4. This is not well-documented anywhere but in the Clang
source. I looked at the logic in Clang `TargetInfo.cpp` and tried to replicate
it here. The relevant methods in that file are
`X86_32ABIInfo::getIndirectResult()` and
`X86_32ABIInfo::getTypeStackAlignInBytes()`. The `align` parameter attribute
for `byval` parameters in LLVM must match the platform ABI, or miscompilations
will occur. Note that this doesn't use the approach suggested by eddyb, because
I felt it was overkill to store the alignment in `on_stack` when special
handling is really only needed for 32-bit x86.
As a side effect, this should fix#80127, because it will make the `align`
parameter attribute for `byval` parameters match the platform ABI on LLVM
x86-64.
[this comment]: #80822 (comment)
It makes it sound like the `ExprKind` and `Rvalue` are supposed to represent all pointer related
casts, when in reality their just used to share a some enum variants. Make it clear there these
are only coercion to make it clear why only some pointer related "casts" are in the enum.
`lookup_debug_loc` calls `SourceMap::lookup_line`, which does a binary
search over the files, and then a binary search over the lines within
the found file. It then calls `SourceFile::line_begin_pos`, which redoes
the binary search over the lines within the found file.
This commit removes the second binary search over the lines, instead
getting the line starting pos directly using the result of the first
binary search over the lines.
(And likewise for `get_span_loc`, in the cranelift backend.)
Ignore `core`, `alloc` and `test` tests that require unwinding on `-C panic=abort`
Some of the tests for `core` and `alloc` require unwinding through their use of `catch_unwind`. These tests fail when testing using `-C panic=abort` (in my case through a target without unwinding support, and `-Z panic-abort-tests`), while they should be ignored as they don't indicate a failure.
This PR marks all of these tests with this attribute:
```rust
#[cfg_attr(not(panic = "unwind"), ignore = "test requires unwinding support")]
```
I'm not aware of a way to test this on rust-lang/rust's CI, as we don't test any target with `-C panic=abort`, but I tested this locally on a Ferrocene target and it does indeed make the test suite pass.
`EarlyBinder::new` -> `EarlyBinder::bind`
for consistency with `Binder::bind`. it may make sense to also add `EarlyBinder::dummy` in places where we know that no parameters exist, but I left that out of this PR.

Add build instructions for cranelift backend as part of Rust repo
All other instructions assume that user works with separate repository than Rust compiler repository. When one follows default instructions, cranelift codegen tries to use different sys-root and compiler internal crates which leads to compiler errors when building it.
I needed to do all this steps while adding new intrinsic to rustc.

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.)
Error message all end up passing into a function as an `impl
Into<{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage>`. If an error message is creatd as
`&format("...")` that means we allocate a string (in the `format!`
call), then take a reference, and then clone (allocating again) the
reference to produce the `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`, which is silly.
This commit removes the leading `&` from a lot of these cases. This
means the original `String` is moved into the
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`, avoiding the double allocations. This
requires changing some function argument types from `&str` to `String`
(when all arguments are `String`) or `impl
Into<{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage>` (when some arguments are `String` and
some are `&str`).
You will need to add the following as replacement for the old __rust_*
definitions when not using the alloc shim.
#[no_mangle]
static __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable: u8 = 0;
