Simonas Kazlauskas faa00949d9 Update man page with the new options
This pull request updates the rustc manual page to represent post-#19900
state of rustc options better.

A bit unrelatedly, --help output is changed to fix some issues too:
  * -g and -O descriptions were changed from deprected flags to the new
    codegen flags.
  * dep-info value was moved from crate-type to emit flag.

Fixes #20111
Fixes #20131

Set lint forbidden
.TP
\fB\-C\fR FLAG[=VAL], \fB\-\-codegen\fR FLAG[=VAL]
Set a codegen-related flag to the value specified. Use "-C help" to print
available flags. See CODEGEN OPTIONS below
.TP
\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR
Print version info and exit
.TP
\fB\-v\fR, \fB\-\-verbose\fR
Use verbose output

.TP
\fB\-Z\fR FLAG

.TP
\fB\-\-color\fR auto|always|never
Configure coloring of output:
auto = colorize, if output goes to a tty (default);
always = always colorize output;
never = never colorize output
.SH CODEGEN OPTIONS
.TP
\fBar\fR=/path/to/ar
Path to the archive utility to use when assembling archives.
.TP
\fBlinker\fR=/path/to/cc
Path to the linker utility to use when linking libraries, executables, and
objects.
.TP
\fBlink-args\fR='-flag1 -flag2'
A space-separated list of extra arguments to pass to the linker when the linker
is invoked.
.TP
\fBlto\fR
Perform LLVM link-time optimizations.
.TP
\fBtarget-cpu\fR=help
Selects a target processor. If the value is 'help', then a list of available
CPUs is printed.
.TP
\fBtarget-feature\fR='+feature1,-feature2'
A comma-separated list of features to enable or disable for the target. A
preceding '+' enables a feature while a preceding '-' disables it. Available
features can be discovered through target-cpu=help.
.TP
\fBpasses\fR=list
A space-separated list of extra LLVM passes to run. A value of 'list' will
cause rustc to print all known passes and exit. The passes specified are
appended at the end of the normal pass manager.
.TP
\fBllvm-args\fR='-arg1 -arg2'
A space-separated list of arguments to pass through to LLVM.
.TP
\fBsave-temps\fR
If specified, the compiler will save more files (.bc, .o, .no-opt.bc) generated
throughout compilation in the output directory.
.TP
\fBrpath\fR
If specified, then the rpath value for dynamic libraries will be set in
either dynamic library or executable outputs.
.TP
\fBno-prepopulate-passes\fR
Suppresses pre-population of the LLVM pass manager that is run over the module.
.TP
\fBno-vectorize-loops\fR
Suppresses running the loop vectorization LLVM pass, regardless of optimization
level.
.TP
\fBno-vectorize-slp\fR
Suppresses running the LLVM SLP vectorization pass, regardless of optimization
level.
.TP
\fBsoft-float\fR
Generates software floating point library calls instead of hardware
instructions.
.TP
\fBprefer-dynamic\fR
Prefers dynamic linking to static linking.
.TP
\fBno-integrated-as\fR
Force usage of an external assembler rather than LLVM's integrated one.
.TP
\fBno-redzone\fR
Disable the use of the redzone.
.TP
\fBrelocation-model\fR=[pic,static,dynamic-no-pic]
The relocation model to use. (Default: pic)
.TP
\fBcode-model\fR=[small,kernel,medium,large]
Choose the code model to use.
.TP
\fBmetadata\fR=val
Metadata to mangle symbol names with.
.TP
\fBextra-filename\fR=val
Extra data to put in each output filename.
.TP
\fBcodegen-units\fR=val
Divide crate into N units to optimize in parallel.
.TP
\fBremark\fR=val
Print remarks for these optimization passes (space separated, or "all").
.TP
\fBno-stack-check\fR
Disable checks for stack exhaustion (a memory-safety hazard!).
.TP
\fBdebuginfo\fR=val
Debug info emission level:
0 = no debug info;
1 = line-tables only (for stacktraces and breakpoints);
2 = full debug info with variable and type information.
.TP
\fBopt-level\fR=val
Optimize with possible levels 0-3
.SH "EXAMPLES"
To build an executable from a source file with a main function:
$ rustc -o hello hello.rs
To build a library from a source file:
$ rustc --crate-type=lib hello-lib.rs
To build either with a crate (.rs) file:
$ rustc hello.rs
To build an executable with debug info:
$ rustc -g -o hello hello.rs
