Rollup merge of #75143 - oli-obk:tracing, r=RalfJung
Use `tracing` spans to trace the entire MIR interp stack

r? @RalfJung

While being very verbose, this allows really good tracking of what's going on. While I considered schemes like the previous indenter that we had (which we could get by using the `tracing-tree` crate), this will break down horribly with things like multithreaded rustc. Instead, we can now use `RUSTC_LOG` to restrict the things being traced. You could specify a filter in a way that only shows the logging of a specific frame.

If we lower the span's level to `debug`, then in `info` level logging we'd not see the frames, but in `debug` level we would see them. The filtering rules in `tracing` are super powerful, but  I'm not sure if we can specify a filter so we do see `debug` level events, but *not* the `frame` spans. The documentation at https://docs.rs/tracing-subscriber/0.2.10/tracing_subscriber/struct.EnvFilter.html makes me think that we can only turn on things, not turn off things at a more precise level.
