rename ptr::from_exposed_addr -> ptr::with_exposed_provenance
As discussed on [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/136281-t-opsem/topic/To.20expose.20or.20not.20to.20expose/near/427757066).
The old name, `from_exposed_addr`, makes little sense as it's not the address that is exposed, it's the provenance. (`ptr.expose_addr()` stays unchanged as we haven't found a better option yet. The intended interpretation is "expose the provenance and return the address".)
The new name nicely matches `ptr::without_provenance`.
Add `Ord::cmp` for primitives as a `BinOp` in MIR
Update: most of this OP was written months ago. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/118310#issuecomment-2016940014 below for where we got to recently that made it ready for review.

There are dozens of reasonable ways to implement `Ord::cmp` for integers using comparison, bit-ops, and branches. Those differences are irrelevant at the rust level, however, so we can make things better by adding `BinOp::Cmp` at the MIR level:
1. Exactly how to implement it is left up to the backends, so LLVM can use whatever pattern its optimizer best recognizes and cranelift can use whichever pattern codegens the fastest.
2. By not inlining those details for every use of `cmp`, we drastically reduce the amount of MIR generated for `derive`d `PartialOrd`, while also making it more amenable to MIR-level optimizations.
Having extremely careful `if` ordering to μoptimize resource usage on broadwell (#63767) is great, but it really feels to me like libcore is the wrong place to put that logic. Similarly, using subtraction [tricks](https://graphics.stanford.edu/~seander/bithacks.html#CopyIntegerSign) (#105840) is arguably even nicer, but depends on the optimizer understanding it (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/issues/73417) to be practical. Or maybe [bitor is better than add](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/representing-in-ir/67369/2?u=scottmcm)? But maybe only on a future version that [has `or disjoint` support](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-add-or-disjoint-flag/75036?u=scottmcm)? And just because one of those forms happens to be good for LLVM, there's no guarantee that it'd be the same form that GCC or Cranelift would rather see -- especially given their very different optimizers. Not to mention that if LLVM gets a spaceship intrinsic -- [which it should](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/Suboptimal.20inlining.20in.20std.20function.20.60binary_search.60/near/404250586) -- we'll need at least a rustc intrinsic to be able to call it.
As for simplifying it in Rust, we now regularly inline `{integer}::partial_cmp`, but it's quite a large amount of IR. The best way to see that is with 8811efa88b (diff-d134c32d028fbe2bf835fef2df9aca9d13332dd82284ff21ee7ebf717bfa4765R113) -- I added a new pre-codegen MIR test for a simple 3-tuple struct, and this PR change it from 36 locals and 26 basic blocks down to 24 locals and 8 basic blocks. Even better, as soon as the construct-`Some`-then-match-it-in-same-BB noise is cleaned up, this'll expose the `Cmp == 0` branches clearly in MIR, so that an InstCombine (#105808) can simplify that to just a `BinOp::Eq` and thus fix some of our generated code perf issues. (Tracking that through today's `if a < b { Less } else if a == b { Equal } else { Greater }` would be *much* harder.)

Add methods to create StableMIR constant
I've been experimenting with transforming the StableMIR to instrument the code with potential UB checks.
The modified body will only be used by our analysis tool, however, constants in StableMIR must be backed by rustc constants. Thus, I'm adding a few functions to build constants, such as building string and other primitives.
One question I have is whether we should create a global allocation instead for strings.

Add `intrinsic_name` to get plain intrinsic name
Add an `intrinsic_name` API to retrieve the plain intrinsic name. The plain name does not include type arguments (as `trimmed_name` does), which is more convenient to match with intrinsic symbols.

Add asm goto support to `asm!`
Tracking issue: #119364
This PR implements asm-goto support, using the syntax described in "future possibilities" section of [RFC2873](https://rust-lang.github.io/rfcs/2873-inline-asm.html#asm-goto).
Currently I have only implemented the `label` part, not the `fallthrough` part (i.e. fallthrough is implicit). This doesn't reduce the expressive though, since you can use label-break to get arbitrary control flow or simply set a value and rely on jump threading optimisation to get the desired control flow. I can add that later if deemed necessary.

`CompilerError` has `CompilationFailed` and `ICE` variants, which seems
reasonable at first. But the way it identifies them is flawed:
- If compilation errors out, i.e. `RunCompiler::run` returns an `Err`,
it uses `CompilationFailed`, which is reasonable.
- If compilation panics with `FatalError`, it catches the panic and uses
`ICE`. This is sometimes right, because ICEs do cause `FatalError`
panics, but sometimes wrong, because certain compiler errors also
cause `FatalError` panics. (The compiler/rustdoc/clippy/whatever just
catches the `FatalError` with `catch_with_exit_code` in `main`.)
In other words, certain non-ICE compilation failures get miscategorized
as ICEs. It's not possible to reliably distinguish the two cases, so
this commit merges them. It also renames the combined variant as just
`Failed`, to better match the existing `Interrupted` and `Skipped`
variants.
Here is an example of a non-ICE failure that causes a `FatalError`
panic, from `tests/ui/recursion_limit/issue-105700.rs`:
```
#![recursion_limit="4"]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
#![invalid_attribute]
//~^ERROR recursion limit reached while expanding
fn main() {{}}
```
The internal function was unsound, it could cause UB in rare cases where
the user inadvertly stored the returned object in a location that could
outlive the TyCtxt.
In order to make it safe, we now take a type context as an argument to
the internal fn, and we ensure that interned items are lifted using the
provided context.
Thus, this change ensures that the compiler can properly enforce
that the object does not outlive the type context it was lifted to.
Make tcx optional from StableMIR run macro and extend it to accept closures
Change `run` macro to avoid sometimes unnecessary dependency on `TyCtxt`, and introduce `run_with_tcx` to capture use cases where `tcx` is required. Additionally, extend both macros to accept closures that may capture variables.
I've also modified the `internal()` method to make it safer, by accepting the type context to force the `'tcx` lifetime to match the context lifetime.
These are non-backward compatible changes, but they only affect internal APIs which are provided today as helper functions until we have a stable API to start the compiler.
