crate-ify compiler-rt into compiler-builtins
libcompiler-rt.a is dead, long live libcompiler-builtins.rlib
This commit moves the logic that used to build libcompiler-rt.a into a
compiler-builtins crate on top of the core crate and below the std crate.
This new crate still compiles the compiler-rt instrinsics using gcc-rs
but produces an .rlib instead of a static library.
Also, with this commit rustc no longer passes -lcompiler-rt to the
linker. This effectively makes the "no-compiler-rt" field of target
specifications a no-op. Users of `no_std` will have to explicitly add
the compiler-builtins crate to their crate dependency graph *if* they
need the compiler-rt intrinsics - this is a [breaking-change]. Users
of the `std` have to do nothing extra as the std crate depends
on compiler-builtins.
Finally, this a step towards lazy compilation of std with Cargo as the
compiler-rt intrinsics can now be built by Cargo instead of having to
be supplied by the user by some other method.

core: add likely and unlikely intrinsics
I'm no good at reading assembly, but I have tried a stage1 compiler with this patch, and it does cause different asm output. Additionally, testing this compiler on my httparse crate with some `likely` usage added in to the branches does affect benchmarks. However, I'm sure a codegen test should be included, if anyone knows what it should look like.
There isn't an entry in `librustc_trans/context.rs` in this diff, because it already exists (`llvm.expect.i1` is used for array indices).
----
Even though this does affect httparse benchmarks, it doesn't seem to affect it the same way GCC's `__builtin_expect` affects picohttpparser. I was confused that the deviation on the benchmarks grew hugely when testing this, especially since I'm absolutely certain that the branchs where I added `likely` were always `true`. I chalk that up to GCC and LLVM handle branch prediction differently.

Zero first byte of CString on drop
Hi! This is one more attempt to ameliorate `CString::new("...").unwrap().as_ptr()` problem (related RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1642).
One of the biggest problems with this code is that it may actually work in practice, so the idea of this PR is to proactively break such invalid code.
Looks like writing a `null` byte at the start of the CString should do the trick, and I think is an affordable cost: zeroing a single byte in `Drop` should be cheap enough compared to actual memory deallocation which would follow.
I would actually prefer to do something like
```Rust
impl Drop for CString {
fn drop(&mut self) {
let pattern = b"CTHULHU FHTAGN ";
let bytes = self.inner[..self.inner.len() - 1];
for (d, s) in bytes.iter_mut().zip(pattern.iter().cycle()) {
*d = *s;
}
}
}
```
because Cthulhu error should be much easier to google, but unfortunately this would be too expensive in release builds, and we can't implement things `cfg(debug_assertions)` conditionally in stdlib.
Not sure if the whole idea or my implementation (I've used ~~`transmute`~~ `mem::unitialized` to workaround move out of Drop thing) makes sense :)
Remove unnecessary `cmp::min` from BufWriter::write
The first branch of the if statement already checks if `buf.len() >= self.buf.capacity()`, which makes the `cmp::min(buf.len(), self.buf.capacity())` redundant: the result will always be `buf.len()`. Therefore, we can pass the `buf` slice directly into `Write::write`.
Update E0297 to new error format
Fixes#35521.
Part of #35233.
I didn't attempt the bonus of narrowing the span to focus on the "for `<pattern>`" piece (it's my first time contributing), but I'm happy to do so given some hints.

fix a few errant `Krate` edges
Exploring the effect of small changes on `syntex` reuse, I discovered the following sources of unnecessary edges from `Krate`

Improve char_lit's readability and speed
This is my first contribution to rustc. Please let me know if I've done anything wrong. (I ran `make tidy` before making the pull request.)
Allow setting --docdir
This will allow setting `--docdir` during configure, this is useful because not all linux distributions install documentation to `/usr/share/doc`. For example in Slackware documentation is installed to `/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION` and `/usr/share/doc` is a symlink to `/usr/doc`.
To use this `./configure --docdir=/usr/doc/$PRGNAM-$VERSION` can be used.
This reduces the time taken to run
`rustc -Zparse-only rustc-benchmarks/issue-32278-big-array-of-strings`
from 0.18s to 0.15s on my machine, and reduces the number of
instructions (as measured by Cachegrind) from 1.34B to 1.01B.
With the change applied, the time to fully compile that benchmark is
1.96s, so this is a 1.5% improvement.
Work around pointer aliasing issue in Vec::extend_from_slice, extend_with_element
Due to missing noalias annotations for &mut T in general (issue #31681),
in larger programs extend_from_slice and extend_with_element may both
compile very poorly. What is observed is that the .set_len() calls are
not lifted out of the loop, even for `Vec<u8>`.
Use a local length variable for the Vec length instead, and use a scope
guard to write this value back to self.len when the scope ends or on
panic. Then the alias analysis is easy.
This affects extend_from_slice, extend_with_element, the vec![x; n]
macro, Write impls for Vec<u8>, BufWriter, etc (but may / may not
have triggered since inlining can be enough for the compiler to get it right).
