Make `ensure_sufficient_stack()` non-generic, using cargo-llvm-lines
Inspired by [this blog post](https://blog.mozilla.org/nnethercote/2020/08/05/how-to-speed-up-the-rust-compiler-some-more-in-2020/) from `@nnethercote,` I used [cargo-llvm-lines](https://github.com/dtolnay/cargo-llvm-lines/) on the rust compiler itself, to improve it's compile time. This PR contains only one low-hanging fruit, but I also want to share some measurements.
The function `ensure_sufficient_stack()` was monomorphized 1500 times, and with it the `stacker` and `psm` crates, for a total of 1.5% of all llvm IR lines. With some trickery I convert the generic closure into a dynamic one, and thus all that code is only monomorphized once.
# Measurements
Getting these numbers took some fiddling with CLI flags and I [modified](https://github.com/Julian-Wollersberger/cargo-llvm-lines/blob/master/src/main.rs#L115) cargo-llvm-lines to read from a folder instead of invoking cargo. Commands I used:
```
./x.py clean
RUSTFLAGS="--emit=llvm-ir -C link-args=-fuse-ld=lld -Z self-profile=profile" CARGOFLAGS_BOOTSTRAP="-Ztimings" RUSTC_BOOTSTRAP=1 ./x.py build -i --stage 1 library/std
# Then manually copy all .ll files into a folder I hardcoded in cargo-llvm-lines in main.rs#L115
cd ../cargo-llvm-lines
cargo run llvm-lines
```
The result is this list (see [first 500 lines](https://github.com/Julian-Wollersberger/cargo-llvm-lines/blob/master/llvm-lines-rustc-before.txt) ), before the change:
```

All `.ll` files together had 4.4GB. After my change they had 4.2GB. So a few percent less code LLVM has to process. Hurray!
Sadly, I couldn't measure an actual wall-time improvement. Watching YouTube while compiling added to much noise...
Here is the top of the list after the change:
```
16460866 (100%) 58341 (100%) (TOTAL)
1903085 (11.6%) 504 (0.9%) rustc_query_system::query::plumbing::get_query_impl::{{closure}}
1331918 (8.1%) 1287 (2.2%) hashbrown::raw::RawTable<T>::reserve_rehash
777796 (4.7%) 12031 (20.6%) core::ptr::drop_in_place
551462 (3.4%) 1519 (2.6%) rustc_data_structures::stack::ensure_sufficient_stack::{{closure}}
```
Note that the total was reduced by 430 000 lines and `psm::on_stack::with_on_stack` has disappeared. Instead `rustc_data_structures::stack::ensure_sufficient_stack::{{closure}}` appeared. I'm confused about that one, but it seems to consist of inlined calls to `rustc_query_system::*` stuff.
Further note the other two big culprits in this list: `rustc_query_system` and `hashbrown`. These two are monomorphized many times, the query system summing to more than 20% of all lines, not even counting code that's probably inlined elsewhere.
Assuming compile times scale linearly with llvm-lines, that means a possible 20% compile time reduction.
Reducing eg. `get_query_impl` would probably need a major refactoring of the qery system though. _Everything_ in there is generic over multiple types, has associated types and passes generic Self arguments by value. Which means you can't simply make things `dyn`.
---------------------------------------
This PR is a small step to make rustc compile faster and thus make contributing to rustc less painful. Nonetheless I love Rust and I find the work around rustc fascinating :)
