This adds a new target property, `target_vendor`. It is to be be used as a matcher for conditional compilation. The vendor is part of the [autoconf target triple](http://llvm.org/docs/doxygen/html/classllvm_1_1Triple.html#details): `<arch><sub>-<vendor>-<os>-<env>`. `arch`, `target_os` and `target_env` are already supported by Rust.
This change was suggested in PR #28593. It enables conditional compilation based on the vendor. This is needed for the rumprun target, which needs to match against both, target_os and target_vendor.
The default value for `target_vendor` is "unknown", "apple" and "pc" are other common values.
Matching against the `target_vendor` is introduced behind the feature gate `#![feature(cfg_target_vendor)]`.
This is the first time I messed around with rustc internals. I just added the my code where I found the existing `target_*` variables, hopefully I haven't missed anything. Please review with care. :)

This adds a new target property, `target_vendor` which can be used as a

target triple: <arch><sub>-<vendor>-<os>-<env>
The default value for `target_vendor` is "unknown".
Matching against the `target_vendor` with `#[cfg]` is currently feature
gated as `cfg_target_vendor`.
To correctly reexport statically included libraries from a DLL on Windows, the
compiler will soon need to have knowledge about what symbols are statically
included and which are not. To solve this problem a new unstable
`#[linked_from]` attribute is being added and recognized on `extern` blocks to
indicate which native library the symbols are coming from.
The compiler then keeps track of what the set of FFI symbols are that are
included statically. This information will be used in a future commit to
configure how we invoke the linker on Windows.
