This adds a new Python script (compatible with 2.7 and 3.x) that will consume some JSON files that define a platform's intrinsics. It can output a file that defines the intrinsics in the compiler, or an `extern` block that will import them.
The complexity of the generator is to be DRY: platforms (especially ARM and AArch64) have a lot of repetition with their intrinsics, for different versions with different types, so being able to write it once is nice.
This adds support for flattened intrinsics, which are called in Rust
with tuples but in LLVM without them (e.g. `foo((a, b))` becomes `foo(a,
b)`). Unflattened ones could be supported, but are not yet.
This is necessary to reflect the ARM APIs accurately, since some
functions explicitly take an unsigned parameter and a signed one, of the
same integer shape, so the no-duplicates check will fail unless we
distinguish.
The major change here is in the tiny commit at the end and makes it so that we no longer emit lifetime intrinsics for allocas for function arguments. They are live for the whole function anyway, so the intrinsics add no value. This makes the resulting IR more clear, and reduces the peak memory usage and LLVM times by about 1-4%, depending on the crate.
The remaining changes are just preparatory cleanups and fixes for missing lifetime intrinsics.
Function arguments are live for the whole function scope, so adding
lifetime intrinsics around them adds no value. The same is true for drop
hint allocas and everything else that goes directly through
lvalue_scratch_datum. So the easiest fix is to emit lifetime intrinsics
only for lvalue datums that are created in to_lvalue_datum_in_scope().
The reduces peak memory usage and LLVM times by about 1-4%, depending on
the crate.
Combining them seemed like a good idea at the time, but turns out that
handling lifetimes separately makes it somewhat easier to handle cases
where we don't want the intrinsics, and let's you see more easily where
the start/end pairs are.
The issues that the comments referred to were fixed before the PR even
landed but we never got around to remove the hack of skipping the
lifetime start.
The functions is useful for all kinds of fat pointers, but get_len()
just feels so wrong for trait object fat pointers. Let's use get_meta()
because that's rather neutral.
This increases regionck performance greatly - type-checking on
librustc decreased from 9.1s to 8.1s. Because of Amdahl's law,
total performance is improved only by about 1.5% (LLVM wizards,
this is your opportunity to shine!).

I am somewhat worried really need to find out why we have this Red Queen's
Race going on here. Originally I suspected it may be a problem from RFC1214's
warnings, but it seems to be an effect from other changes.
However, the increase seems to be mostly in LLVM's time, so I guess
it's the LLVM wizards' problem.
We're currently possibly introducing an unneeded temporary, make use of
InsertValue which is said to kick us off of FastISel and we generate
loads/stores of first class aggregates, which is bad as well. Let's not
do all these things.

Currently `f32 % f32` will generate a link error on 32-bit MSVC because LLVM
will lower the operation to a call to the nonexistent function `fmodf`. Work
around in this in the backend by lowering to a call to `fmod` instead with
necessary extension/truncation between floats/doubles.
Closes#27859
In order to test the validity of identifiers, exposing the name resolution module is necessary. Other changes mostly comprise of exposing modules publicly like parts of save-analysis, so they can be called appropriately.

This is purposely separate to the "rust-intrinsic" ABI, because these
intrinsics are theoretically going to become stable, and should be fine
to be independent of the compiler/language internals since they're
intimately to the platform.
