The previous iteration was a large `match` which was quite heavily indented,
making it slightly difficult to read and see what was going on. This iteration
is a refactoring (no functional change intended) to make it a bit easier on the
eyes and a bit easier to modify over time.
Place unions, pointer casts and pointer derefs behind extra feature gates
To ensure we don't stabilize these things together with const fn stabilization (or any other stabilization)
This PR moves union field accesses inside `const fn` behind a feature gate. It was possible without a feature gate before, but since `const fn` was behind a feature gate we can do this change.
While "dereferencing raw pointers" and "casting raw pointers to usize" were hard errors before this PR, one could work around them by abusing unions:
```rust
// deref
union Foo<T> {
x: &'static T,
y: *const T,
}
const FOO: u32 = unsafe { *Foo { y: 42 as *const T }.x };
// as usize cast
union Bar<T> {
x: usize,
y: *const T,
}
const BAR: usize = unsafe { Bar { y: &1u8 }.x };
```

with ThinLTO and cross-lang-lto.
Normally, when compiling with whole-crate-graph ThinLTO, we expect
rustc's LTO step to "uplift" upstream object files/LLVM modules to
the current set of compilation artifacts. Therefore the staticlib
creation code skips this uplifting. However, when compiling with
"cross-language LTO" (i.e. defer LTO to the actual linker), the LTO
step in rustc is not performed, so we have to take care of copying
upstream object files during archive creation (like we already do
when compiling without any LTO).

Remove references to `StaticMutex` which got removed a while ago
`StaticMutex` got removed two years ago with https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34705, but still got referenced in some comments and even an error explanation.
Rename Executor trait to Spawn
Renames the `Executor` trait to `Spawn` and the method on `Context` to `spawner`.
Note: Best only merge this after we've the alpha 3 announcement post ready.

Building librustc_codegen_llvm in a separate directory
This allows clearing it out and building it separately from the
compiler. Since it's essentially a different and separate crate this
makes sense to do, each cargo invocation should generally happen in its
own directory.

Extract impl_header_lifetime_elision out of in_band_lifetimes
This way we can experiment with `impl Debug for &MyType` separately from `impl Debug for &'a MyType`.
I can't say I know what the code in here is doing, so please let me know if there's a better way 🙂
I marked this as enabled in 2018 so that edition code continues to work without another flag.
