Add primary marker on codegen unit and generate main wrapper on primary codegen.
This is the codegen part of changes extracted from #84062.
This add a marker called `primary` on each codegen units, where exactly one codegen unit will be `primary = true` at a time. This specific codegen unit will take charge of generating `main` wrapper when `main` is imported from a foreign crate after the implementation of RFC 1260.
cc #28937
I'm not sure who should i ask for review for codegen changes, so feel free to reassign.

Add default search path to `Target::search()`
The function `Target::search()` accepts a target triple and returns a `Target` struct defining the requested target.
There is a `// FIXME 16351: add a sane default search path?` comment that indicates it is desirable to include some sort of default. This was raised in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/16351 which was closed without any resolution.
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/31117 was proposed, however that has platform-specific logic that is unsuitable for systems without `/etc/`.
This patch implements the suggestion raised in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/16351#issuecomment-180878193 where a `target.json` file may be placed in `$(rustc --print sysroot)/lib/rustlib/<target-triple>/target.json`. This allows shipping a toolchain distribution as a single file that gets extracted to the sysroot.
Improve support for NewPM
This adds various missing bits of support for NewPM and allows us to successfully run stage 2 tests with NewPM enabled.
This does not yet enable NewPM by default, as there are still known issue on LLVM 12 (such as a weak fat LTO pipeline). The plan is to make the switch after we update to LLVM 13.
This doesn't seem to be necessary anymore, although I don't know
at which point or why that changed.
Forcing -O1 makes some tests fail under NewPM, because NewPM also
performs inlining at -O1, so it ends up performing much more
optimization in practice than before.
Remove SpanInterner::get
- It's used exactly once, so it's trivial to replace
- It doesn't match the normal convention for containers: normally
`get()` returns an option and indexing panics. Instead `SpanInterner::get()` panics
and there's no indexing operation available.
Improve diagnostics for functions in `struct` definitions
Tries to implement #76421.
This is probably going to need unit tests, but I wanted to hear from review all the cases tests should cover.
I'd like to follow up with the "mechanically applicable suggestion here that adds an impl block" step, but I'd need guidance. My idea for now would be to try to parse a function, and if that succeeds, create a dummy `ast::Item` impl block to then format it using `pprust`. Would that be a viable approach? Is there a better alternative?

rustc: Support Rust-specific features in -Ctarget-feature
Since the beginning of time the `-Ctarget-feature` flag on the command
line has largely been passed unmodified to LLVM. Afterwards, though, the
`#[target_feature]` attribute was stabilized and some of the names in
this attribute do not match the corresponding LLVM name. This is because
Rust doesn't always want to stabilize the exact feature name in LLVM for
the equivalent functionality in Rust. This creates a situation, however,
where in Rust you'd write:
#[target_feature(enable = "pclmulqdq")]
unsafe fn foo() {
// ...
}
but on the command line you would write:
RUSTFLAGS="-Ctarget-feature=+pclmul" cargo build --release
This difference is somewhat odd to deal with if you're a newcomer and
the situation may be made worse with upcoming features like [WebAssembly
SIMD](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/74372) which may be more
prevalent.
This commit implements a mapping to translate requests via
`-Ctarget-feature` through the same name-mapping functionality that's
present for attributes in Rust going to LLVM. This means that
`+pclmulqdq` will work on x86 targets where as previously it did not.
I've attempted to keep this backwards-compatible where the compiler will
just opportunistically attempt to remap features found in
`-Ctarget-feature`, but if there's something it doesn't understand it
gets passed unmodified to LLVM just as it was before.
