Demote i686-unknown-freebsd to tier 2 compiler target
While technically the `i686-unknown-freebsd` target has been a tier 2 development platform for a long time, with full toolchain tarballs available on static.rust-lang.org, due to a bug in the manifest generation the target was never available for download through rustup.
The infrastructure team privately inquired the FreeBSD package maintainers, and they weren't relying on those tarballs either, so it's a fair assumption to say practically nobody is using those tarballs.
This PR then removes the CI builder that produces full tarballs for the target, and moves the compilation of `rust-std` for the target in `dist-various-2`. The `x86_64-unknown-freebsd` target is *not* affected.

Promote aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu to Tier 1
This PR promotes the `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu` target to Tier 1, as proposed by [RFC 2959]:
* The `aarch64-gnu` CI job is moved from `auto-fallible` to `auto`.
* The platform support documentation is updated, uplifting the target to Tiert 1 with a note about missing stack probes support.
* Building the documentation is enabled for the target, as we produce the `rust-docs` component for all Tier 1 platforms.

Historically we've disabled these assertions on a number of platforms with the
goal of speeding up CI. Now, though, having migrated to GitHub actions, CI is
already pretty fast, and these debug assertions do bring us some value.
This does leave in some debug assertions that are performance-related: macOS
currently hovers at just under 2 hours.
There are also some other builders which have debug and LLVM assertions
disabled:
llvm-8, PR builder:
In one view, this builder tests our support for older LLVMs. But in reality, a
lot of our tests already disable themselves on older LLVMs, and I think our
general stance is that we really only support the in-tree LLVM. Plus, we really
want CI times on this builder to be really low, as it's run on *every* PR --
that's a lot of CI time.
test-various:
This disables debug asserts still -- as noted in the Dockerfile, we test code
size, and we need debug asserts off for that to work well.
This was recommended by GitHub Support to try reducing the things that
could've caused #78743. I checked the changelog and there should be no
practical impact for us (we already set an explicit fetch-depth).

Promote aarch64-pc-windows-msvc to Tier 2 Development Platform
Adds a GitHub Actions CI build for `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` via cross-compilation on an x86_64 host.
This promotes `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` from a Tier 2 Compilation Target (std) to a Tier 2 Development Platform (std+rustc+cargo+tools).

Set ninja=true by default
Ninja substantially improves LLVM build time. On a 96-way system, using
Make took 248s, and using Ninja took 161s, a 35% improvement.
We already require a variety of tools to build Rust. If someone wants to
build without Ninja (for instance, to minimize the set of packages
required to bootstrap a new target), they can easily set `ninja=false`
in `config.toml`. Our defaults should help people build Rust (and LLVM)
faster, to speed up development.
The purpose of the auto-fallible job is to run builders that are likely
to fail on CI without gating on them. Having fail-fast enabled there
kinda defeats the purpose, as if one of them fails we can't monitor the
outcome of the other ones.
This was prompted by the aarch64-gnu builder consistently failing due to
a broken test, preventing us from seeing if the macOS spurious failure
is fixed.
Add fallible AArch64 CI builder
This adds the `aarch64-gnu` CI builder to the `auto-fallible` job, as a first step in the process of actually gating on it.

This adds a dedicated branch for perf to use for CI, intended to allow perf to
enqueue builds without needing to use bors. bors is great, but bors requires an
open PR to work, and we want to invoke perf on closed PRs sometimes (in
particular, rollups).
Also, promote defaults.run.shell from inside only the primary jobs to
the top level.
The src/ci/exec-with-shell.py wrapper script was formerly used to change
out the shell mid-job by intercepting a CI_OVERRIDE_SHELL environment
variable. Now, instead, we just set `bash` as the global default across
all jobs, and we also delete the exec-with-shell.py script.

A follow-up to #74406, this commit merely removes the `shell: bash`
lines where they are explicitly added in favor of setting defaults for
*all* "run" steps.

RISC-V GNU/Linux as host platform

build dist for x86_64-unknown-illumos
This change creates a new Docker image, "dist-x86_64-illumos", and sets
things up to build the full set of "dist" packages for illumos hosts, so
that illumos users can use "rustup" to install packages. It also
adjusts the manifest builder to expect complete toolchains for this
platform.
In our GitHub Actions setup macOS is too unreliable to gate on it, but
the other builders work fine. This commit splits the macOS builders into
a separate job (called auto-fallible), allowing us to gate on the auto
job without failing due to macOS spurious failures.

We need to add runners designed for an aarch64 host system, and it'd be
nice to return an error message if someone tries to run an image
designed for an host architecture in another one.
To start the work on this, this commit moves all the existing builders
in the host-x86_64 directory, and changes the run.sh script to look up
the image in the correct directory based on the host architecture.
Remove legacy InnoSetup GUI installer
On Windows the InnoSetup `.exe` installer was superseded by the MSI installer long ago. It's no longer needed.
The `.exe` installer hasn't been linked from the [other installation methods](https://forge.rust-lang.org/infra/other-installation-methods.html#standalone) page in many years. As far as I can tell the intent was always to remove this installer once the MSI proved itself. Though admittedly both installers feel very "legacy" at this point.
Removing this would mean we only maintain one Windows GUI installer and would speed up the distribution phase.
As a result of removing InnoSetup, this closes#24397
ci: allow gating GHA on everything but macOS
In our GitHub Actions setup macOS is too unreliable to gate on it, but the other builders work fine. This commit splits the macOS builders into a separate job (called `auto-fallible`), allowing us to gate on the auto job without failing due to macOS spurious failures.
