bors 2d1e075079 Auto merge of #96285 - flip1995:pk-vfe, r=nagisa ... Introduce `-Zvirtual-function-elimination` codegen flag Fixes #68262 This PR adds a codegen flag `-Zvirtual-function-elimination` to enable the VFE optimization in LLVM. To make this work, additonal information has to be added to vtables ([`!vcall_visibility` metadata](https://llvm.org/docs/TypeMetadata.html#vcall-visibility-metadata) and a `typeid` of the trait). Furthermore, instead of just `load`ing functions, the [`llvm.type.checked.load` intrinsic](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-type-checked-load-intrinsic) has to be used to map functions to vtables. For technical details of the changes, see the commit messages. I also tested this flag on https://github.com/tock/tock on different boards to verify that this fixes the issue https://github.com/tock/tock/issues/2594. This flag is able to improve the size of the resulting binary by about 8k-9k bytes by removing the unused debug print functions.
