`Decoder` has two impls: - opaque: this impl is already partly infallible, i.e. in some places it currently panics on failure (e.g. if the input is too short, or on a bad `Result` discriminant), and in some places it returns an error (e.g. on a bad `Option` discriminant). The number of places where either happens is surprisingly small, just because the binary representation has very little redundancy and a lot of input reading can occur even on malformed data. - json: this impl is fully fallible, but it's only used (a) for the `.rlink` file production, and there's a `FIXME` comment suggesting it should change to a binary format, and (b) in a few tests in non-fundamental ways. Indeed #85993 is open to remove it entirely. And the top-level places in the compiler that call into decoding just abort on error anyway. So the fallibility is providing little value, and getting rid of it leads to some non-trivial performance improvements. Much of this commit is pretty boring and mechanical. Some notes about a few interesting parts: - The commit removes `Decoder::{Error,error}`. - `InternIteratorElement::intern_with`: the impl for `T` now has the same optimization for small counts that the impl for `Result<T, E>` has, because it's now much hotter. - Decodable impls for SmallVec, LinkedList, VecDeque now all use `collect`, which is nice; the one for `Vec` uses unsafe code, because that gave better perf on some benchmarks. |

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
