They've been deprecated for four years.
This commit includes the following changes.
- It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate.
- It changes the language used for lints in
`compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called
"loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old
plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`.
- E0457 and E0498 are no longer used.
- E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins.
- The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed".
- It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book.
- It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in
`tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`.
Closes#29597.
share some track_caller logic between interpret and codegen
Also move the code that implements the track_caller intrinsics out of the core interpreter engine -- it's just a helper creating a const-allocation, doesn't need to be part of the interpreter core.
Distribute cg_clif as rustup component on the nightly channel
This makes it possible to use cg_clif using:
```bash
$ rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly
$ RUSTFLAGS="-Zcodegen-backend=cranelift" cargo +nightly build
```

Bump stdarch submodule and remove special handling for LLVM intrinsics that are no longer needed
Bumps stdarch to pull https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1477, which reimplemented some functions with portable SIMD intrinsics instead of arch specific LLVM intrinsics.
Handling of those LLVM intrinsics is removed from cranelift codegen and miri.
cc `@RalfJung` `@bjorn3`
This ensures that cg_clif can be built for targets that aren't natively
supported by Cranelift. It will not be possible to compile for the host
in this case, but cross-compilation will still be possible.
We won't distribute cg_clif as rustup component for any targets that
aren't natively supported by Cranelift, but will still build it if
codegen-backends lists "cranelift".
