Rollup merge of #144503 - bjorn3:lto_refactors3, r=petrochenkov

Various refactors to the codegen coordinator code (part 3)

Continuing from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144062 this removes an option without any known users, uses the object crate in favor of LLVM for getting the LTO bitcode and improves the coordinator channel handling.
