Stabilize linker-plugin based LTO (aka cross-language LTO)
This PR stabilizes [linker plugin based LTO](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/49879), also known as "cross-language LTO" because it allows for doing inlining and other optimizations across language boundaries in mixed Rust/C/C++ projects.
As described in the tracking issue, it works by making `rustc` emit LLVM bitcode instead of machine code, the same as `clang` does. A linker with the proper plugin (like LLD) can then run (Thin)LTO across all modules.
The feature has been implemented over a number of pull requests and there are various [codegen](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/codegen/no-dllimport-w-cross-lang-lto.rs) and [run](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/run-make-fulldeps/cross-lang-lto-clang)-[make](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/run-make-fulldeps/cross-lang-lto-upstream-rlibs) [tests](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/master/src/test/run-make-fulldeps/cross-lang-lto) that make sure that it keeps working.
It also works for building big projects like [Firefox](https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=try&revision=2ce2d5ddcea6fbff790503eac406954e469b2f5d).
The PR makes the feature available under the `-C linker-plugin-lto` flag. As discussed in the tracking issue it is not cross-language specific and also not LLD specific. `-C linker-plugin-lto` is descriptive of what it does. If someone has a better name, let me know `:)`

Support the case when link objects are not located in Rust sysroot
but in other locations which could be specify through library paths.
|
|
Returning an iterator leads to nicer code all around.
|
|
It's more idiomatic, makes the code shorter, and will help with the next
commit.
|
|
Instead of maybe storing its own sysroot and maybe deferring to the one
in `Session::opts`, just clone the latter when necessary so one is
always directly available. This removes the need for the getter.

Encode a custom "producers" section in wasm files
This commit implements WebAssembly/tool-conventions#65 for wasm files
produced by the Rust compiler. This adds a bit of metadata to wasm
modules to indicate that the file's language includes Rust and the
file's "processed-by" tools includes rustc.
The thinking with this section is to eventually have telemetry in
browsers tracking all this.

This is a follow up to 8aa9267 which changed the driver to use lld
directly rather than invoking it through Clang. This change ensures
we pass all the necessary flags to lld.

This commit adds a new codegen option for the compiler which disables
rustc's passing of `-nodefaultlibs` by default on relevant platforms.
Sometimes Rust is linked with C code which fails to link with
`-nodefaultlibs` and is unnecessarily onerous to get linking correctly
with `-nodefaultlibs`.
An example of this is that when you compile C code with sanitizers and
then pass `-fsanitize=address` to the linker, it's incompatible with
`-nodefaultlibs` also being passed to the linker.
In these situations it's easiest to turn off Rust's default passing of
`-nodefaultlibs`, which was more ideological to start with than
anything! Preserving the default is somewhat important but having this
be opt-in shouldn't cause any breakage.
Closes #54237

This function isn't strictly tied to LLVM (it's more of a utility) and
it's now near an analogous, almost identical `filename_for_input` (for
rlibs and so forth).
Also this means not depending on the backend when one wants to know the
accurate .rmeta output filename.

try to infer linker flavor from linker name and vice versa
This is a second take on PR #50359 that implements the logic proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/50359#pullrequestreview-116663121
With this change it would become possible to link `thumb*` binaries using GNU's LD on stable as `-C linker=arm-none-eabi-ld` would be enough to change both the linker and the linker flavor from their default values of `arm-none-eabi-gcc` and `gcc`.
To link `thumb*` binaries using rustc's LLD on stable `-Z linker-flavor` would need to be stabilized as `-C linker=rust-lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` are both required to change the linker and the linker flavor, but this PR doesn't propose that. We would probably need some sort of stability guarantee around `rust-lld`'s name and availability to make linking with rustc's LLD truly stable.
With this change it would also be possible to link `thumb*` binaries using a system installed LLD on stable using the `-C linker=ld.lld` flag (provided that `ld.lld` is a symlink to the system installed LLD).

with ThinLTO and cross-lang-lto.
Normally, when compiling with whole-crate-graph ThinLTO, we expect
rustc's LTO step to "uplift" upstream object files/LLVM modules to
the current set of compilation artifacts. Therefore the staticlib
creation code skips this uplifting. However, when compiling with
"cross-language LTO" (i.e. defer LTO to the actual linker), the LTO
step in rustc is not performed, so we have to take care of copying
upstream object files during archive creation (like we already do
when compiling without any LTO).

This is a clippy-breaking change.

Don't format!() string literals
Prefer `to_string()` to `format!()` take 2, this time targetting string literals. In some cases (`&format!("...")` -> `"..."`) also removes allocations. Occurences of `format!("")` are changed to `String::new()`.

Prefer to_string() to format!()
Simple benchmarks suggest in some cases it can be faster by even 37%:
```
test converting_f64_long ... bench: 339 ns/iter (+/- 199)
test converting_f64_short ... bench: 136 ns/iter (+/- 34)
test converting_i32_long ... bench: 87 ns/iter (+/- 16)
test converting_i32_short ... bench: 87 ns/iter (+/- 49)
test converting_str ... bench: 54 ns/iter (+/- 15)
test formatting_f64_long ... bench: 349 ns/iter (+/- 176)
test formatting_f64_short ... bench: 145 ns/iter (+/- 14)
test formatting_i32_long ... bench: 98 ns/iter (+/- 14)
test formatting_i32_short ... bench: 93 ns/iter (+/- 15)
