Fix backtraces with `-C panic=abort` on linux; emit unwind tables by default
The linux backtrace unwinder relies on unwind tables to work properly, and generating and printing a backtrace is done by for example the default panic hook.
Begin emitting unwind tables by default again with `-C panic=abort` (see history below) so that backtraces work.

### History
Backtraces with `-C panic=abort` used to work in Rust 1.22 but broke in Rust 1.23, because in 1.23 we stopped emitting unwind tables with `-C panic=abort` (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/45031 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81902#issuecomment-3046487084).
In 1.45 a workaround in the form of `-C force-unwind-tables=yes` was added (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69984).
`-C panic=abort` was added in [Rust 1.10](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2016/07/07/Rust-1.10/#what-s-in-1-10-stable) and the motivation was binary size and compile time. But given how confusing that behavior has turned out to be, it is better to make binary size optimization opt-in with `-C force-unwind-tables=no` rather than default since the current default breaks backtraces.
Besides, if binary size is a primary concern, there are many other tricks that can be used that has a higher impact.

debuginfo: add an unstable flag to write split DWARF to an explicit directory
Bazel requires knowledge of outputs from actions at analysis time, including file or directory name. In order to work around the lack of predictable output name for dwo files, we group the dwo files in a subdirectory of --out-dir as a post-processing step before returning control to bazel. Unfortunately some debugging workflows rely on directly opening the dwo file rather than loading the merged dwp file, and our trick of moving the files breaks those users. We can't just hardlink the file or copy it, because with remote build execution we wouldn't end up with the un-moved file copied back to the developer's workstation. As a fix, we add this unstable flag that causes dwo files to be written to a build-system-controllable location, which then lets bazel hoover up the dwo files, but the objects also have the correct path for the dwo files.

compiler: remove AbiAlign inside TargetDataLayout
AbiAlign is a thin wrapper around Align, extant mostly because we used to track a separate quasi-notion of alignment that was never a real notion of alignment and removing all of it at once was too churny. This PR maintains AbiAlign usage in public API and most of the compiler, but direct access of these fields for TargetDataLayout is now in terms of Align only.

This schema is helpful for people writing custom target spec JSON. It
can provide autocomplete in the editor, and also serves as documentation
when there are documentation comments on the structs, as `schemars` will
put them in the schema.
Sanitizers target modificators
Depends on bool flag fix: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/138483.
Some sanitizers need to be target modifiers, and some do not. For now, we should mark all sanitizers as target modifiers except for these: AddressSanitizer, LeakSanitizer
For kCFI, the helper flag -Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers should also be a target modifier.
Many test errors was with sanizer flags inconsistent with std deps. Tests are fixed with `-C unsafe-allow-abi-mismatch`.
This was done in #145740 and #145947. It is causing problems for people
using r-a on anything that uses the rustc-dev rustup package, e.g. Miri,
clippy.
This repository has lots of submodules and subtrees and various
different projects are carved out of pieces of it. It seems like
`[workspace.dependencies]` will just be more trouble than it's worth.
Lint buffering currently relies on a giant enum `BuiltinLintDiag`
containing all the lints that might potentially get buffered. In
addition to being an unwieldy enum in a central crate, this also makes
`rustc_lint_defs` a build bottleneck: it depends on various types from
various crates (with a steady pressure to add more), and many crates
depend on it.
Having all of these variants in a separate crate also prevents detecting
when a variant becomes unused, which we can do with a dedicated type
defined and used in the same crate.
Refactor this to use a dyn trait, to allow using `LintDiagnostic` types
directly.
This requires boxing, but all of this is already on the slow path
(emitting an error).
Because the existing `BuiltinLintDiag` requires some additional types in
order to decorate some variants, which are only available later in
`rustc_lint`, use an enum `DecorateDiagCompat` to handle both the `dyn
LintDiagnostic` case and the `BuiltinLintDiag` case.
Deduplicate -L search paths
For each -L passed to the compiler, we eagerly scan the whole directory. If it has a lot of files, that results in a lot of allocations. So it's needless to do this if some -L paths are actually duplicated (which can happen e.g. in the situation in the linked issue).
This PR both deduplicates the args, and also teaches rustdoc not to pass duplicated args to merged doctests.

strip prefix of temporary file names when it exceeds filesystem name length limit
When doing lto, rustc generates filenames that are concatenating many information.
In the case of this testcase, it is concatenating crate name and rust file name, plus some hash, and the extension. In some other cases it will concatenate even more information reducing the maximum effective crate name to about 110 chars on linux filesystems where filename max length is 255
This commit is ensuring that the temporary file names are limited in size, while still reasonably ensuring the unicity (with hashing of the stripped part)

Various refactors to the codegen coordinator code (part 3)
Continuing from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/144062 this removes an option without any known users, uses the object crate in favor of LLVM for getting the LTO bitcode and improves the coordinator channel handling.
Nobody seems to actually use this, while still adding some extra
complexity to the already rather complex codegen coordinator code.
It is also not supported by any backend other than the LLVM backend.
Use serde for target spec json deserialize
The previous manual parsing of `serde_json::Value` was a lot of complicated code and extremely error-prone. It was full of janky behavior like sometimes ignoring type errors, sometimes erroring for type errors, sometimes warning for type errors, and sometimes just ICEing for type errors (the icing on the top).
Additionally, many of the error messages about allowed values were out of date because they were in a completely different place than the FromStr impls. Overall, the system caused confusion for users.
I also found the old deserialization code annoying to read. Whenever a `key!` invocation was found, one had to first look for the right macro arm, and no go to definition could help.
This PR replaces all this manual parsing with a 2-step process involving serde.
First, the string is parsed into a `TargetSpecJson` struct. This struct is a 1:1 representation of the spec JSON. It already parses all the enums and is very simple to read and write.
Then, the fields from this struct are copied into the actual `Target`. The reason for this two-step process instead of just serializing into a `Target` is because of a few reasons
1. There are a few transformations performed between the two formats
2. The default logic is implemented this way. Otherwise all the default field values would have to be spelled out again, which is suboptimal. With this logic, they fall out naturally, because everything in the json struct is an `Option`.
Overall, the mapping is pretty simple, with the vast majority of fields just doing a 1:1 mapping that is captured by two macros. I have deliberately avoided making the macros generic to keep them simple.
All the `FromStr` impls now have the error message right inside them, which increases the chance of it being up to date. Some "`from_str`" impls were turned into proper `FromStr` impls to support this.
The new code is much less involved, delegating all the JSON parsing logic to serde, without any manual type matching.
This change introduces a few breaking changes for consumers. While it is possible to use this format on stable, it is very much subject to change, so breaking changes are expected. The hope is also that because of the way stricter behavior, breaking changes are easier to deal with, as they come with clearer error messages.
1. Invalid types now always error, everywhere. Previously, they would sometimes error, and sometimes just be ignored (which meant the users JSON was still broken, just silently!)
2. This now makes use of `deny_unknown_fields` instead of just warning on unused fields, which was done previously. Serde doesn't make it easy to get such warning behavior, which was the primary reason that this now changed. But I think error behavior is very reasonable too. If someone has random stale fields in their JSON, it is likely because these fields did something at some point but no longer do, and the user likely wants to be informed of this so they can figure out what to do.
This is also relevant for the future. If we remove a field but someone has it set, it probably makes sense for them to take a look whether they need this and should look for alternatives, or whether they can just delete it. Overall, the JSON is made more explicit.
This is the only expected breakage, but there could also be small breakage from small mistakes. All targets roundtrip though, so it can't be anything too major.
