Update the stdsimd submodule
This brings in a few updates:
* Update wasm intrinsic naming for atomics
* Update and reimplement most simd128 wasm intrinsics
* Other misc improvements here and there, including a small start to
AVX-512 intrinsics

This adds an implementation of thread local storage for the
`wasm32-unknown-unknown` target when the `atomics` feature is
implemented. This, however, comes with a notable caveat of that it
requires a new feature of the standard library, `wasm-bindgen-threads`,
to be enabled.
Thread local storage for wasm (when `atomics` are enabled and there's
actually more than one thread) is powered by the assumption that an
external entity can fill in some information for us. It's not currently
clear who will fill in this information nor whose responsibility it
should be long-term. In the meantime there's a strategy being gamed out
in the `wasm-bindgen` project specifically, and the hope is that we can
continue to test and iterate on the standard library without committing
to a particular strategy yet.
As to the details of `wasm-bindgen`'s strategy, LLVM doesn't currently
have the ability to emit custom `global` values (thread locals in a
`WebAssembly.Module`) so we leverage the `wasm-bindgen` CLI tool to do
it for us. To that end we have a few intrinsics, assuming two global values:
* `__wbindgen_current_id` - gets the current thread id as a 32-bit
integer. It's `wasm-bindgen`'s responsibility to initialize this
per-thread and then inform libstd of the id. Currently `wasm-bindgen`
performs this initialization as part of the `start` function.
* `__wbindgen_tcb_{get,set}` - in addition to a thread id it's assumed
that there's a global available for simply storing a pointer's worth
of information (a thread control block, which currently only contains
thread local storage). This would ideally be a native `global`
injected by LLVM, but we don't have a great way to support that right
now.
To reiterate, this is all intended to be unstable and purely intended
for testing out Rust on the web with threads. The story is very likely
to change in the future and we want to make sure that we're able to do
that!

This commit is an initial start at implementing the standard library for
wasm32-unknown-unknown with the experimental `atomics` feature enabled. None of
these changes will be visible to users of the wasm32-unknown-unknown target
because they all require recompiling the standard library. The hope with this is
that we can get this support into the standard library and start iterating on it
in-tree to enable experimentation.
Currently there's a few components in this PR:
* Atomic fences are disabled on wasm as there's no corresponding atomic op and
it's not clear yet what the convention should be, but this will change in the
future!
* Implementations of `Mutex`, `Condvar`, and `RwLock` were all added based on
the atomic intrinsics that wasm has.
* The `ReentrantMutex` and thread-local-storage implementations panic currently
as there's no great way to get a handle on the current thread's "id" yet.
Right now the wasm32 target with atomics is unfortunately pretty unusable,
requiring a lot of manual things here and there to actually get it operational.
This will likely continue to evolve as the story for atomics and wasm unfolds,
but we also need more LLVM support for some operations like custom `global`
directives for this to work best.

Previously, the `guard::init()` and `guard::current()` functions were
returning a `usize` address representing the top of the stack guard,
respectively for the main thread and for spawned threads. The `SIGSEGV`
handler on `unix` targets checked if a fault was within one page below
that address, if so reporting it as a stack overflow.
Now `unix` targets report a `Range<usize>` representing the guard
memory, so it can cover arbitrary guard sizes. Non-`unix` targets which
always return `None` for guards now do so with `Option<!>`, so they
don't pay any overhead.
For `linux-gnu` in particular, the previous guard upper-bound was
`stackaddr + guardsize`, as the protected memory was *inside* the stack.
This was a glibc bug, and starting from 2.27 they are moving the guard
*past* the end of the stack. However, there's no simple way for us to
know where the guard page actually lies, so now we declare it as the
whole range of `stackaddr ± guardsize`, and any fault therein will be
called a stack overflow. This fixes #47863.

This commit adds a new target to the compiler: wasm32-unknown-unknown. This
target is a reimagining of what it looks like to generate WebAssembly code from
Rust. Instead of using Emscripten which can bring with it a weighty runtime this
instead is a target which uses only the LLVM backend for WebAssembly and a
"custom linker" for now which will hopefully one day be direct calls to lld.
Notable features of this target include:
* There is zero runtime footprint. The target assumes nothing exists other than
the wasm32 instruction set.
* There is zero toolchain footprint beyond adding the target. No custom linker
is needed, rustc contains everything.
* Very small wasm modules can be generated directly from Rust code using this
target.
* Most of the standard library is stubbed out to return an error, but anything
related to allocation works (aka `HashMap`, `Vec`, etc).
* Naturally, any `#[no_std]` crate should be 100% compatible with this new
target.
This target is currently somewhat janky due to how linking works. The "linking"
is currently unconditional whole program LTO (aka LLVM is being used as a
linker). Naturally that means compiling programs is pretty slow! Eventually
though this target should have a linker.
This target is also intended to be quite experimental. I'm hoping that this can
act as a catalyst for further experimentation in Rust with WebAssembly. Breaking
changes are very likely to land to this target, so it's not recommended to rely
on it in any critical capacity yet. We'll let you know when it's "production
ready".
---
Currently testing-wise this target is looking pretty good but isn't complete.
I've got almost the entire `run-pass` test suite working with this target (lots
of tests ignored, but many passing as well). The `core` test suite is still
getting LLVM bugs fixed to get that working and will take some time. Relatively
simple programs all seem to work though!
---
It's worth nothing that you may not immediately see the "smallest possible wasm
module" for the input you feed to rustc. For various reasons it's very difficult
to get rid of the final "bloat" in vanilla rustc (again, a real linker should
fix all this). For now what you'll have to do is:
cargo install --git https://github.com/alexcrichton/wasm-gc
wasm-gc foo.wasm bar.wasm
And then `bar.wasm` should be the smallest we can get it!
---
In any case for now I'd love feedback on this, particularly on the various
integration points if you've got better ideas of how to approach them!
