Stabilize `-Z instrument-coverage` as `-C instrument-coverage`
(Tracking issue for `instrument-coverage`: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79121)
This PR stabilizes support for instrumentation-based code coverage, previously provided via the `-Z instrument-coverage` option. (Continue supporting `-Z instrument-coverage` for compatibility for now, but show a deprecation warning for it.)
Many, many people have tested this support, and there are numerous reports of it working as expected.
Move the documentation from the unstable book to stable rustc documentation. Update uses and documentation to use the `-C` option.
Addressing questions raised in the tracking issue:
> If/when stabilized, will the compiler flag be updated to -C instrument-coverage? (If so, the -Z variant could also be supported for some time, to ease migrations for existing users and scripts.)
This stabilization PR updates the option to `-C` and keeps the `-Z` variant to ease migration.
> The Rust coverage implementation depends on (and automatically turns on) -Z symbol-mangling-version=v0. Will stabilizing this feature depend on stabilizing v0 symbol-mangling first? If so, what is the current status and timeline?
This stabilization PR depends on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/90128 , which stabilizes `-C symbol-mangling-version=v0` (but does not change the default symbol-mangling-version).
> The Rust coverage implementation implements the latest version of LLVM's Coverage Mapping Format (version 4), which forces a dependency on LLVM 11 or later. A compiler error is generated if attempting to compile with coverage, and using an older version of LLVM.
Given that LLVM 13 has now been released, requiring LLVM 11 for coverage support seems like a reasonable requirement. If people don't have at least LLVM 11, nothing else breaks; they just can't use coverage support. Given that coverage support currently requires a nightly compiler and LLVM 11 or newer, allowing it on a stable compiler built with LLVM 11 or newer seems like an improvement.
The [tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/79121) and the [issue label A-code-coverage](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/labels/A-code-coverage) link to a few open issues related to `instrument-coverage`, but none of them seem like showstoppers. All of them seem like improvements and refinements we can make after stabilization.
The original `-Z instrument-coverage` support went through a compiler-team MCP at https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/278 . Based on that, `@pnkfelix` suggested that this needed a stabilization PR and a compiler-team FCP.

These options primarily exist to work around bugs, and those bugs have
largely been fixed. Avoid stabilizing them, so that we don't have to
support them indefinitely.

Continue supporting -Z instrument-coverage for compatibility for now,
but show a deprecation warning for it.
Update uses and documentation to use the -C option.
Move the documentation from the unstable book to stable rustc
documentation.

As discovered in #85461, the MSVC linker treats weak symbols slightly
differently than unix-y linkers do. This causes link.exe to fail with
LNK1227 "conflicting weak extern definition" where as other targets are
able to link successfully.
This changes the dead functions from being generated as weak/hidden to
private/default which, as the LLVM reference says:
> Global values with “private” linkage are only directly accessible by
objects in the current module. In particular, linking code into a module
with a private global value may cause the private to be renamed as
necessary to avoid collisions. Because the symbol is private to the
module, all references can be updated. This doesn’t show up in any
symbol table in the object file.
This fixes the conflicting weak symbols but doesn't address the reason
*why* we have conflicting symbols for these dead functions. The test
cases added in this commit contain a minimal repro of the fundamental
issue which is that the logic used to decide what dead code functions
should be codegen'd in the current CGU doesn't take into account that
functions can be duplicated across multiple CGUs (for instance, in the
case of `#[inline(always)]` functions).
Fixing that is likely to be a more complex change (see
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/85461#issuecomment-985005805).
Fixes #85461

This matches the behavior of Clang and allows us to remove several
hacks which were needed to ensure functions weren't optimized away
before reaching the instrumentation pass.

Adjusted LLVM codegen for code compiled with `-Zinstrument-coverage` to
address multiple, somewhat related issues.
Fixed a significant flaw in prior coverage solution: Every counter
generated a new counter variable, but there should have only been one
counter variable per function. This appears to have bloated .profraw
files significantly. (For a small program, it increased the size by
about 40%. I have not tested large programs, but there is anecdotal
evidence that profraw files were way too large. This is a good fix,
regardless, but hopefully it also addresses related issues.
Fixes: #82144
Invalid LLVM coverage data produced when compiled with -C opt-level=1
Existing tests now work up to at least `opt-level=3`. This required a
detailed analysis of the LLVM IR, comparisons with Clang C++ LLVM IR
when compiled with coverage, and a lot of trial and error with codegen
adjustments.
The biggest hurdle was figuring out how to continue to support coverage
results for unused functions and generics. Rust's coverage results have
three advantages over Clang's coverage results:
1. Rust's coverage map does not include any overlapping code regions,
making coverage counting unambiguous.
2. Rust generates coverage results (showing zero counts) for all unused
functions, including generics. (Clang does not generate coverage for
uninstantiated template functions.)
3. Rust's unused functions produce minimal stubbed functions in LLVM IR,
sufficient for including in the coverage results; while Clang must
generate the complete LLVM IR for each unused function, even though
it will never be called.
This PR removes the previous hack of attempting to inject coverage into
some other existing function instance, and generates dedicated instances
for each unused function. This change, and a few other adjustments
(similar to what is required for `-C link-dead-code`, but with lower
impact), makes it possible to support LLVM optimizations.
Fixes: #79651
Coverage report: "Unexecuted instantiation:..." for a generic function
from multiple crates
Fixed by removing the aforementioned hack. Some "Unexecuted
instantiation" notices are unavoidable, as explained in the
`used_crate.rs` test, but `-Zinstrument-coverage` has new options to
back off support for either unused generics, or all unused functions,
which avoids the notice, at the cost of less coverage of unused
functions.
Fixes: #82875
Invalid LLVM coverage data produced with crate brotli_decompressor
Fixed by disabling the LLVM function attribute that forces inlining, if
`-Z instrument-coverage` is enabled. This attribute is applied to
Rust functions with `#[inline(always)], and in some cases, the forced
inlining breaks coverage instrumentation and reports.

This uses the `SourceMap::doctest_offset_line` method to re-map line
numbers from doctests. Remapping columns is not yet done.
Part of issue #79417.

The original test produced a single crate with two mods, which was not
the goal of the test.
