Wesley Wiser 3323e4dc04 Dispose llvm::TargetMachines prior to llvm::Context being disposed
If the TargetMachine is disposed after the Context is disposed, it can
lead to use after frees in some cases.

I've observed this happening occasionally on code compiled for
aarch64-pc-windows-msvc using `-Zstack-protector=strong` but other users
have reported AVs from host aarch64-pc-windows-msvc compilers as well.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
