adjust documented inline-asm register constraints
This change more clearly specifies how `reg` and `reg_thumb` work with ARM, Thumb2, and Thumb1 code.
Based upon the [llvm documentation](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#supported-constraint-code-list) for register constraint codes.
To be clear, this just updates the docs to match what already happens with rustc/llvm.
No change in the compiler is required to make it match this new documentation.
Only use `clone3` when needed for pidfd
In #89522 we learned that `clone3` is interacting poorly with Gentoo's
`sandbox` tool. We only need that for the unstable pidfd extensions, so
otherwise avoid that and use a normal `fork`.
This is a re-application of beta #89924, now that we're aware that we need
more than just a temporary release fix. I also reverted 12fbabd27f, as
that was just fallout from using `clone3` instead of `fork`.

Remove potential useless data for search index
I uncovered this case when working on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90726 to debug https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90385.
Explanations: if we have a full generic, we check if it has generics then we do the following:
* If it has only one generic, we remove one nested level in order to not keep the "parent" generic (since it has empty name, it's useless after all).
* Otherwise we add it alongside its generics.
However, I didn't handle the case where a generic had no generics. Meaning that we were adding items with empty names in the search index. So basically useless data in the search index.

Use computed visibility in rustdoc
This PR changes `librustdoc` to use computed visibility instead of syntactic visibility. It was initially part of #88019, but was separated due to concerns that it might cause a regression somewhere we couldn't predict.

Update llvm submodule
This includes debug info generation fix, that fixes#90301.
Also includes WASM backend related fix for https://bugs.llvm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52352
(I haven't found a corresponding Rust bug).
Because after PR 86041, the optimizer no longer load-merges at the LLVM IR level, which might be part of the perf loss. (I'll run perf and see if this makes a difference.)
Also I added a codegen test so this hopefully won't regress in future -- it passes on stable and with my change here, but not on the 2021-11-09 nightly.

Support early stopping too old pre-installed `tidy` command for macOS in the HTML checker
This PR brings early stopping the HTML checker before errors, which leave some macOS users confused, and suggesting installing a newer `tidy` command.
The pre-installed `tidy` command on macOS is too old, released on 31 October 2006. Additionally, I can see the same date at [StackOverflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22283382/overwrite-osx-tidy
) seven years ago. The `tidy` does not support two indispensable options: `--mute-id` and `--mute`. So, the `./x.py test` command fails with a bunch of errors due not to muting them.
I could confirm the `./x.py test` command before installing a newer `tidy` failed and its command after the installation succeeded.
Change the Miri engine to allow configuring whether to check
initialization of integers and floats. This allows the Miri tool to
optionally check for initialization if requested by the user.

Hashing does not have to use the whole Components parsing machinery because we only need it to match the
normalizations that Components does.
* stripping redundant separators -> skipping separators
* stripping redundant '.' directories -> skipping '.' following after a separator
That's all it takes.
And instead of hashing individual slices for each component we feed the bytes directly into the hasher which avoids
hashing the length of each component in addition to its contents.
Better document `Box` and `alloc::alloc::box_free` connection
The internal `alloc::alloc::box_free` function requires that its signature matches the `owned_box` struct's declaration, but previously that connection was only documented on the `box_free` function.
This PR makes the documentation two-way to help anyone making theoretical changes to `Box` to see the connection, since changes are more likely to originate from `Box`.
