Similar to `-Z dump-mir-graphviz`, this adds the option to write
HTML+CSS files that allow users to analyze the spans associated with MIR
elements (by individual statement, just terminator, or overall basic
block).
This PR was split out from PR #76004, and exposes an API for spanview
HTML+CSS files that is also used to analyze code regions chosen for
coverage instrumentation (in a follow-on PR).

Fix `-Z instrument-coverage` on MSVC
Found that `-C link-dead-code` (which was enabled automatically
under `-Z instrument-coverage`) was causing the linking error that
resulted in segmentation faults in coverage instrumented binaries. Link
dead code is now disabled under MSVC, allowing `-Z instrument-coverage`
to be enabled under MSVC for the first time.
More details are included in Issue #76038 .
Note this PR makes it possible to support `Z instrument-coverage` but
does not enable instrument coverage for MSVC in existing tests. It will be
enabled in another PR to follow this one (both PRs coming from original
PR #75828).

Fixes#75050
Previously, we would unconditionally suppress the panic hook during
proc-macro execution. This commit adds a new flag
-Z proc-macro-backtrace, which allows running the panic hook for
easier debugging.
