They've been deprecated for four years.
This commit includes the following changes.
- It eliminates the `rustc_plugin_impl` crate.
- It changes the language used for lints in
`compiler/rustc_driver_impl/src/lib.rs` and
`compiler/rustc_lint/src/context.rs`. External lints are now called
"loaded" lints, rather than "plugins" to avoid confusion with the old
plugins. This only has a tiny effect on the output of `-W help`.
- E0457 and E0498 are no longer used.
- E0463 is narrowed, now only relating to unfound crates, not plugins.
- The `plugin` feature was moved from "active" to "removed".
- It removes the entire plugins chapter from the unstable book.
- It removes quite a few tests, mostly all of those in
`tests/ui-fulldeps/plugin/`.
Closes#29597.
share some track_caller logic between interpret and codegen
Also move the code that implements the track_caller intrinsics out of the core interpreter engine -- it's just a helper creating a const-allocation, doesn't need to be part of the interpreter core.
Distribute cg_clif as rustup component on the nightly channel
This makes it possible to use cg_clif using:
```bash
$ rustup component add rustc-codegen-cranelift-preview --toolchain nightly
$ RUSTFLAGS="-Zcodegen-backend=cranelift" cargo +nightly build
```

Bump stdarch submodule and remove special handling for LLVM intrinsics that are no longer needed
Bumps stdarch to pull https://github.com/rust-lang/stdarch/pull/1477, which reimplemented some functions with portable SIMD intrinsics instead of arch specific LLVM intrinsics.
Handling of those LLVM intrinsics is removed from cranelift codegen and miri.
cc `@RalfJung` `@bjorn3`
This ensures that cg_clif can be built for targets that aren't natively
supported by Cranelift. It will not be possible to compile for the host
in this case, but cross-compilation will still be possible.
We won't distribute cg_clif as rustup component for any targets that
aren't natively supported by Cranelift, but will still build it if
codegen-backends lists "cranelift".
bootstrap major change detection implementation
The use of `changelog-seen` and `bootstrap/CHANGELOG.md` has not been functional in any way for many years. We often do major/breaking changes but never update the changelog file or the `changelog-seen`. This is an alternative method for tracking major or breaking changes and informing developers when such changes occur.
Example output when bootstrap detects a major change:
Prototype using const generic for simd_shuffle IDX array
cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85229
r? `@workingjubilee` on the design
TLDR: there is now a `fn simd_shuffle_generic<T, U, const IDX: &'static [u32]>(x: T, y: T) -> U;` intrinsic that allows replacing
```rust
simd_shuffle(a, b, const { stuff })
```
with
```rust
simd_shuffle_generic::<_, _, {&stuff}>(a, b)
```
which makes the compiler implementations much simpler, if we manage to at some point eliminate `simd_shuffle`.
There are some issues with this today though (can't do math without bubbling it up in the generic arguments). With this change, we can start porting the simple cases and get better data on the others.
rename mir::Constant -> mir::ConstOperand, mir::ConstKind -> mir::Const
Also, be more consistent with the `to/eval_bits` methods... we had some that take a type and some that take a size, and then sometimes the one that takes a type is called `bits_for_ty`.
Turns out that `ty::Const`/`mir::ConstKind` carry their type with them, so we don't need to even pass the type to those `eval_bits` functions at all.
However this is not properly consistent yet: in `ty` we have most of the methods on `ty::Const`, but in `mir` we have them on `mir::ConstKind`. And indeed those two types are the ones that correspond to each other. So `mir::ConstantKind` should actually be renamed to `mir::Const`. But what to do with `mir::Constant`? It carries around a span, that's really more like a constant operand that appears as a MIR operand... it's more suited for `syntax.rs` than `consts.rs`, but the bigger question is, which name should it get if we want to align the `mir` and `ty` types? `ConstOperand`? `ConstOp`? `Literal`? It's not a literal but it has a field called `literal` so it would at least be consistently wrong-ish...
``@oli-obk`` any ideas?
move required_consts check to general post-mono-check function
This factors some code that is common between the interpreter and the codegen backends into shared helper functions. Also as a side-effect the interpreter now uses the same `eval` functions as everyone else to get the evaluated MIR constants.
Also this is in preparation for another post-mono check that will be needed for (the current hackfix for) https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/115709: ensuring that all locals are dynamically sized.
I didn't expect this to change diagnostics, but it's just cycle errors that change.
