mark some target features as 'forbidden' so they cannot be (un)set with -Ctarget-feature
The context for this is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116344: some target features change the way floats are passed between functions. Changing those target features is unsound as code compiled for the same target may now use different ABIs.
So this introduces a new concept of "forbidden" target features (on top of the existing "stable " and "unstable" categories), and makes it a hard error to (un)set such a target feature. For now, the x86 and ARM feature `soft-float` is on that list. We'll have to make some effort to collect more relevant features, and similar features from other targets, but that can happen after the basic infrastructure for this landed. (These features are being collected in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131799.)
I've made this a warning for now to give people some time to speak up if this would break something.

make codegen help output more consistent
The output of `rustc -C help` generally has one option per line. There was one exception because of a (presumably) forgotten line continuation escape.
Depend on rustc_abi in compiler crates that use it indirectly but have
not yet taken on that dependency, and are not entangled in my other PRs.
This leaves an "excise rustc_target" step after the dust settles.
Implement RFC3695 Allow boolean literals as cfg predicates
This PR implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3695: allow boolean literals as cfg predicates, i.e. `cfg(true)` and `cfg(false)`.

Add unstable support for outputting file checksums for use in cargo
Adds an unstable option that appends file checksums and expected lengths to the end of the dep-info file such that `cargo` can read and use these values as an alternative to file mtimes.
This PR powers the changes made in this cargo PR https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/14137
Here's the tracking issue for the cargo feature https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/14136.
Fix#128930: Print documentation of CLI options missing their arg
Fix#128930. Failing to give an argument to CLI options which require it now prints something like:
```
$ rustc --print
error: Argument to option 'print' missing
Usage:
--print [crate-name|file-names|sysroot|target-libdir|cfg|check-cfg|calling-conventions|target-list|target-cpus|target-features|relocation-models|code-models|tls-models|target-spec-json|all-target-specs-json|native-static-libs|stack-protector-strategies|link-args|deployment-target]
Compiler information to print on stdout

deprecate -Csoft-float because it is unsound (and not fixable)
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129893 for details. The general sentiment there seems to be that this flag has no use and sound alternatives exist, so let's add this warning and see if anyone out there disagrees.
Also show a different warning on targets where it does nothing (as documented since https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36261): it seems to correspond to `-mfloat-abi` in GCC/clang, which is an ARM-specific option. To be really sure it does nothing, only forward the flag to LLVM for eabihf targets. This should not change behavior but makes me sleep better ;)
Add -Z small-data-threshold
This flag allows specifying the threshold size above which LLVM should not consider placing small objects in a `.sdata` or `.sbss` section.
Support is indicated in the target options via the
small-data-threshold-support target option, which can indicate either an
LLVM argument or an LLVM module flag. To avoid duplicate specifications
in a large number of targets, the default value for support is
DefaultForArch, which is translated to a concrete value according to the
target's architecture.
