Rollup merge of #109018 - jyn514:global-allocator-comment, r=lqd
Expand on the allocator comment in `rustc-main` Before, it said "global_allocator does nothing". Now it gives you suggestions for what to do if you want to change the global allocator (which is likely the main reason you'd be reading the comment). cc https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/improving.20rustc.20memory.20usage
