Exit nonzero on rustc -Wall
Previously `rustc -Wall /dev/null` would print a paragraph explaining that `-Wall` is not a thing in Rust, but would then exit 0. I believe exiting 0 is not the right behavior. For something like `rustc --version` or `rustc --help` or `rustc -C help` the user is requesting rustc to print some information; rustc prints that information and exits 0 because what the user requested has been accomplished. In the case of `rustc -Wall path/to/main.rs`, I don't find it correct to conceptualize this as "the user requested rustc to print information about the fact that Wall doesn't exist". The user requested a particular thing, and despite rustc knowing what they probably meant and informing them about that, the thing they requested has *not* been accomplished. Thus a nonzero exit code is needed.
LLVM has built-in heuristics for adding stack canaries to functions. These
heuristics can be selected with LLVM function attributes. This patch adds a
rustc option `-Z stack-protector={none,basic,strong,all}` which controls the use
of these attributes. This gives rustc the same stack smash protection support as
clang offers through options `-fno-stack-protector`, `-fstack-protector`,
`-fstack-protector-strong`, and `-fstack-protector-all`. The protection this can
offer is demonstrated in test/ui/abi/stack-protector.rs. This fills a gap in the
current list of rustc exploit
mitigations (https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/exploit-mitigations.html),
originally discussed in #15179.
Stack smash protection adds runtime overhead and is therefore still off by
default, but now users have the option to trade performance for security as they
see fit. An example use case is adding Rust code in an existing C/C++ code base
compiled with stack smash protection. Without the ability to add stack smash
protection to the Rust code, the code base artifacts could be exploitable in
ways not possible if the code base remained pure C/C++.
Stack smash protection support is present in LLVM for almost all the current
tier 1/tier 2 targets: see
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-target-support.rs. The one
exception is nvptx64-nvidia-cuda. This patch follows clang's example, and adds a
warning message printed if stack smash protection is used with this target (see
test/ui/stack-protector/warn-stack-protector-unsupported.rs). Support for tier 3
targets has not been checked.
Since the heuristics are applied at the LLVM level, the heuristics are expected
to add stack smash protection to a fraction of functions comparable to C/C++.
Some experiments demonstrating how Rust code is affected by the different
heuristics can be found in
test/assembly/stack-protector/stack-protector-heuristics-effect.rs. There is
potential for better heuristics using Rust-specific safety information. For
example it might be reasonable to skip stack smash protection in functions which
transitively only use safe Rust code, or which uses only a subset of functions
the user declares safe (such as anything under `std.*`). Such alternative
heuristics could be added at a later point.
LLVM also offers a "safestack" sanitizer as an alternative way to guard against
stack smashing (see #26612). This could possibly also be included as a
stack-protection heuristic. An alternative is to add it as a sanitizer (#39699).
This is what clang does: safestack is exposed with option
`-fsanitize=safe-stack`.
The options are only supported by the LLVM backend, but as with other codegen
options it is visible in the main codegen option help menu. The heuristic names
"basic", "strong", and "all" are hopefully sufficiently generic to be usable in
other backends as well.

Index and hash HIR as part of lowering
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88186
~Based on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/88880 (see merge commit).~
Once HIR is lowered, it is later indexed by the `index_hir` query and hashed for `crate_hash`. This PR moves those post-processing steps to lowering itself. As a side objective, the HIR crate data structure is refactored as an `IndexVec<LocalDefId, Option<OwnerInfo<'hir>>>` where `OwnerInfo` stores all the relevant information for an HIR owner.

Rustc was incorrectly reading the value of `RUSTC_LOG` as the
environment vairable with the logging configuration, rather than the
logging configuration itself.
This commit changes the `tracing_subscriber` initialization in
`rustc_driver` so that the `WARN` verbosity level is enabled by default
when the `RUSTC_LOG` env variable is empty. If the `RUSTC_LOG` env
variable is set, the filter string in the environment variable is
honored, instead.

Consistently use 'supertrait'.
A subset of places referred to 'super-trait', so this changes them
to all use 'supertrait'. This matches 'supertype' and some other
usages. An exception is 'auto-trait' which is consistently used
in that manner.
Fix clippy lints
I'm currently working on allowing clippy to run on librustdoc after a discussion I had with `@Mark-Simulacrum.` So in the meantime, I fixed a few lints on the compiler crates.
