This commit is an implementation of adding custom sections to wasm artifacts in
rustc. The intention here is to expose the ability of the wasm binary format to
contain custom sections with arbitrary user-defined data. Currently neither our
version of LLVM nor LLD supports this so the implementation is currently custom
to rustc itself.
The implementation here is to attach a `#[wasm_custom_section = "foo"]`
attribute to any `const` which has a type like `[u8; N]`. Other types of
constants aren't supported yet but may be added one day! This should hopefully
be enough to get off the ground with *some* custom section support.
The current semantics are that any constant tagged with `#[wasm_custom_section]`
section will be *appended* to the corresponding section in the final output wasm
artifact (and this affects dependencies linked in as well, not just the final
crate). This means that whatever is interpreting the contents must be able to
interpret binary-concatenated sections (or each constant needs to be in its own
custom section).
To test this change the existing `run-make` test suite was moved to a
`run-make-fulldeps` folder and a new `run-make` test suite was added which
applies to all targets by default. This test suite currently only has one test
which only runs for the wasm target (using a node.js script to use `WebAssembly`
in JS to parse the wasm output).

We want to prevent compiling something against one version
of a dynamic library and then, at runtime accidentally
using a different version of the dynamic library. With the
old symbol-naming scheme this could not happen because every
symbol had the SVH in it and you'd get an error by the
dynamic linker when using the wrong version of a dylib. With
the new naming scheme this isn't the case any more, so this
patch adds the "link-guard" to prevent this error case.
This is implemented as follows:
- In every crate that we compile, we emit a function called
"__rustc_link_guard_<crate-name>_<crate-svh>"
- The body of this function contains calls to the
"__rustc_link_guard" functions of all dependencies.
- An executable contains a call to it's own
"__rustc_link_guard" function.
As a consequence the "__rustc_link_guard" function call graph
mirrors the crate graph and the dynamic linker will fail if a
wrong dylib is loaded somewhere because its
"__rustc_link_guard" function will contain a different SVH in
its name.

Rust currently defaults to `RelocPIC` regardless. This patch adds a new
codegen option that allows choosing different relocation-model. The
available models are:
- default (Use the target-specific default model)
- static
- pic
- no-pic
