cg_llvm: Replace some DIBuilder wrappers with LLVM-C API bindings (part 5)
- Part of rust-lang/rust#134001
- Follow-up to rust-lang/rust#146673
---
This is another batch of LLVMDIBuilder binding migrations, replacing some our own LLVMRust bindings with bindings to upstream LLVM-C APIs.
Some of these are a little more complex than most of the previous migrations, because they split one LLVMRust binding into multiple LLVM bindings, but nothing too fancy.
This appears to be the last of the low-hanging fruit. As noted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/134001#issuecomment-2524979268, the remaining bindings are difficult or impossible to migrate at present.
Use `LLVMDisposeTargetMachine`
After bumping the minimum LLVM version to 20 (rust-lang/rust#145071), we no longer need to run any custom code when disposing of a TargetMachine, so we can just use the upstream LLVM-C function.
LLVM change dfbd76bda01e removed separate remark support entirely, but
it turns out we can just drop the parameter and everything appears to
work fine.
Fixes 146912 as far as I can tell (the test passes.)

cg_llvm: Move target machine command-line quoting from C++ to Rust
When this code was introduced in rust-lang/rust#130446 and rust-lang/rust#131805, it was complicated by the need to maintain compatibility with earlier versions of LLVM.
Now that LLVM 20 is the baseline (rust-lang/rust#145071), we can do all of the quoting in pure Rust code, and pass two flat strings to LLVM to be used as-is.

In this PR, my priority has been to preserve the existing behaviour as much as possible, without worrying too much about what the behaviour *should* be. (Though I did avoid a leading space before the first argument.)

This is another batch of LLVMDIBuilder binding migrations, replacing some our own LLVMRust bindings with bindings to upstream LLVM-C APIs.
This PR migrates all of the bindings that were touched by rust-lang/rust#136632, plus `LLVMDIBuilderCreateStructType`.
Use captures(address) instead of captures(none) for indirect args
While provenance cannot be captured through these arguments, the address / object identity can.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137668.

The underlying implementation of `LLVMCreateConstantRangeAttribute` assumes
that each of `LowerWords` and `UpperWords` points to enough u64 values to
define an integer of the specified bit-length, and will encounter UB if that is
not the case.
Our safe wrapper function always passes pointers to `[u64; 2]` arrays,
regardless of the bit-length specified. That's fine in practice, because scalar
primitives never exceed 128 bits, but it is technically a soundness hole in a
safe function.
We can close the soundness hole by explicitly asserting `size_bits <= 128`.
This is effectively just a stricter version of the existing check that the
value must be small enough to fit in `c_uint`.
`&Freeze` parameters are not only `readonly` within the function,
but any captures of the pointer can also only be used for reads.
This can now be encoded using the `captures(address, read_provenance)`
attribute.
Remove `LlvmArchiveBuilder` and supporting code/bindings
Switching over to the newer Rust-based `ArArchiveBuilder` happened in rust-lang/rust#128936, a year ago.
Per the comment in `new_archive_builder`, that seems like enough time to justify removing the older, unused `LlvmArchiveBuilder` implementation and its associated bindings.
Fixesrust-lang/rust#128955.
Set the dead_on_return attribute (added in LLVM 21) for arguments
that are passed indirectly, but not byval.
This indicates that the value of the argument on return does not
matter, enabling additional dead store elimination.
Implement support for `become` and explicit tail call codegen for the LLVM backend
This PR implements codegen of explicit tail calls via `become` in `rustc_codegen_ssa` and support within the LLVM backend. Completes a task on (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/112788). This PR implements all the necessary bits to make explicit tail calls usable, other backends have received stubs for now and will ICE if you use `become` on them. I suspect there is some bikeshedding to be done on how we should go about implementing this for other backends, but it should be relatively straightforward for GCC after this is merged.
During development I also put together a POC bytecode VM based on tail call dispatch to test these changes out and analyze the codegen to make sure it generates expected assembly. That is available [here](https://github.com/xacrimon/tcvm).
