Some data-independent timing vector instructions may have subtle data-dependent
timing due to MXCSR configuration; dependent on (potentially secret) data
instruction retirement may be delayed by one cycle.
ci: upgrade and refactor crosstool-ng builders
The first commit upgrades our builders from crosstool-ng 1.24.0 to 1.25.0. There are otherwise no changes intended to the toolchains we're using, but there are some minor version upgrades as a result, especially GCC 8.3.0 to 8.5.0. The newer crosstool-ng will position us well to make toolchain upgrades in the future though, as we were maxed out before and it now goes up to GCC 11.
The second commit refactors our config management to only commit a "mini-defconfig" for each target, produced by `ct-ng savedefconfig`. This makes it much clearer which settings we're actually changing, and also makes it easier to ensure consistency for things like mirror management.
This can be done by simply changing the `\??\` prefix to `\\?\` and then attempting to convert to a user path.
Currently it simply strips off the prefix which could lead to the wrong path being returned (e.g. if it's not a drive path or if the path contains trailing spaces, etc).
Optimize builder sizes
The infra-team is continuously monitoring the efficiency of the CI system in an effort to improve overall build times and resource usage. Some builders have used much less than their allocated resources, so we are testing smaller builder sizes for them.

Restrict `From<S>` for `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage`.
Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static, str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for patterns like this:
```
self.fatal(&format!(...))
```
This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single string, bleh.
This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static, str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at the call site.
As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile.

I don't like the current wording. It's obnoxious to be told by a bot
that a change I made intentionally is "probably unintentional"! I also
don't like describing unintentional changes as "Random", it's not the
right word.
Ensure test library issues json string line-by-line
#108659 introduces a custom test display implementation. It does so by using libtest to output json. The stdout is read line by line and parsed. The code trims the line read and checks whether it starts with a `{` and ends with a `}`.
Unfortunately, there is a race condition in how json data is written to stdout. The `write_message` function calls `self.out.write_all` repeatedly to write a buffer that contains (partial) json data, or a new line. There is no lock around the `self.out.write_all` functions. Similarly, the `write_message` function itself is called with only partial json data. As these functions are called from concurrent threads, this may result in json data ending up on the same stdout line. This PR avoids this by buffering the complete json data before issuing a single `self.out.write_all`.
(#109484 implemented a partial fix for this issue; it only avoids that failed json parsing would result in a panic.)

Box AssertKind
r? `@nnethercote` this feels like your kind of thing
I want to add a new variant to `AssertKind` that needs 3 operands, and that ends up breaking a bunch of size assertions. So... what if we go the opposite direction first; shrinking `AssertKind` by boxing it?
