Only compile #[used] as llvm.compiler.used for ELF targets
This returns `#[used]` to how it worked prior to the LLVM 13 update. The intention is not that this is a stable promise.
I'll add tests later today. The tests will test things that we don't actually promise, though.
It's a deliberately small patch, mostly comments. And assuming it's reviewed and lands in time, IMO it should at least be considered for uplifting to beta (so that it can be in 1.59), as the change broke many crates in the ecosystem, even if they are relying on behavior that is not guaranteed.
# Background
LLVM has two ways of preventing removal of an unused variable: `llvm.compiler.used`, which must be present in object files, but allows the linker to remove the value, and `llvm.used` which is supposed to apply to the linker as well, if possible.
Prior to LLVM 13, `llvm.used` and `llvm.compiler.used` were the same on ELF targets, although they were different elsewhere. Prior to our update to LLVM 13, we compiled `#[used]` using `llvm.used` unconditionally, even though we only ever promised behavior like `llvm.compiler.used`.
In LLVM 13, ELF targets gained some support for preventing linker removal of `llvm.used` via the SHF_RETAIN section flag. This has some compatibility issues though: Concretely: some older versions `ld.gold` (specifically ones prior to v2.36, released in Jan 2021) had a bug where it would fail to place a `#[used] #[link_section = ".init_array"]` static in between `__init_array_start`/`__init_array_end`, leading to code that does this failing to run a static constructor. This is technically not a thing we guarantee will work, is a common use case, and is needed in `libstd` (for example, to get access to `std::env::args()` even if Rust does not control `main`, such as when in a `cdylib` crate).
As a result, when updating to LLVM 13, we unconditionally switched to using `llvm.compiler.used`, which mirror the guarantees we make for `#[used]` and doesn't require the latest ld.gold. Unfortunately, this happened to break quite a bit of things in the ecosystem, as non-ELF targets had come to rely on `#[used]` being slightly stronger. In particular, there are cases where it will even break static constructors on these targets[^initinit] (and in fact, breaks way more use cases, as Mach-O uses special sections as an interface to the OS/linker/loader in many places).
As a result, we only switch to `llvm.compiler.used` on ELF[^elfish] targets. The rationale here is:
1. It is (hopefully) identical to the semantics we used prior to the LLVM13 update as prior to that update we unconditionally used `llvm.used`, but on ELF `llvm.used` was the same as `llvm.compiler.used`.
2. It seems to be how Clang compiles this, and given that they have similar (but stronger) compatibility promises, that makes sense.
[^initinit]: For Mach-O targets: It is not always guaranteed that `__DATA,__mod_init_func` is a GC root if it does not have the `S_MOD_INIT_FUNC_POINTERS` flag which we cannot add. In most cases, when ld64 transformed this section into `__DATA_CONST,__mod_init_func` it gets applied, but it's not clear that that is intentional (let alone guaranteed), and the logic is complex enough that it probably happens sometimes, and people in the wild report it occurring.
[^elfish]: Actually, there's not a great way to tell if it's ELF, so I've approximated it.
This is pretty ad-hoc and hacky! We probably should have a firmer set of guarantees here, but this change should relax the pressure on coming up with that considerably, returning it to previous levels.

Unsure who should review so leaving it open, but for sure CC `@nikic`
Remove the unused StableSet and StableMap types from rustc_data_structures.
The current implementation is not "stable" in the same sense that `HashStable` and `StableHasher` are stable, i.e. across compilation sessions. So, in my opinion, it's better to remove those types (which are basically unused anyway) than to give the wrong impression that these are safe for incr. comp.
I plan to provide new "stable" collection types soon that can be used to replace `FxHashMap` and `FxHashSet` in query results (see [draft](69d03ac7a7)). It's unsound that `HashMap` and `HashSet` implement `HashStable` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/98890 for a recent P-critical bug caused by this) -- so we should make some progress there.
Fix a numerical underflow in tuple wrap suggestion
Fixes#99482
I'm a clown, I rewrote the arg mismatch algo to use well-typed indices to avoid things like this, but then I added my own indexing bug, lol.
Formalize defining_use_anchor
This tackles issue #57961
Introduces new enum called `DefiningAnchor` that replaces `Option<LocalDefId>` of `defining_use_anchor`. Now every use of it is explicit and exhaustively matched, catching errors like one in the linked issue. This is not a perfect fix but it's a step in the right direction.

Suggest returning local on "expected `ty`, found `()`" due to expr-less block
Putting this up for _initial_ review. Notably, this doesn't consider if the value has possibly been moved, or whether the type is `Copy`. It also provides a structured suggestion if there's one "preferred" binding that matches the type (i.e. one binding in the block or its parent), otherwise it just points them out if there's fewer than 4 of them.

Improve the function pointer docs
This is #97842 but for function pointers instead of tuples. The concept is basically the same.
* Reduce duplicate impls; show `fn (T₁, T₂, …, Tₙ)` and include a sentence saying that there exists up to twelve of them.
* Show `Copy` and `Clone`.
* Show auto traits like `Send` and `Sync`, and blanket impls like `Any`.

- Use `expr.hir_id.owner` instead of `self.tcx.parent_module(expr.hir_id)`
- Use `.type_at()` instead of `.first()` + `.expect_ty()`
- Use single `.find()` with `&&` condition

Use `typeck_results` to get accurate qpath res for arg mismatch error
Improves error message from "function" to actually what we're calling (e.g. enum variant constrcutor) in a few cases 😸
Do not constraint TAITs when checking impl/trait item compatibility
Check out the UI test for the example.
Open to other approaches to fix this issue -- ideally we _would_ be able to collect this opaque type constraint in a way to use it in `find_opaque_ty_constraints`, so we can report a better mismatch error in the incompatible case, and just allow it in the compatible case. But that seems like a bigger refactor, so I wouldn't want to start it unless someone else thought it was a good idea.

Be more precise when suggesting removal of parens on unit ctor
* Fixes#99240 by only suggesting to remove parens on path exprs, not arbitrary expressions with enum type
* Generalizes by suggesting removal of parens on unit struct, too, because why not?
Remove some usages of `guess_head_span`
No need to pass things through `guess_head_span` if they already point to the head span.
Only major change is that we point to the head span of `enum`s on some errors now, which I prefer.
