In PR 90877 T-lang decided not to remove `intrinsics::pref_align_of`.
However, the intrinsic and its supporting code
1. is a nightly feature, so can be removed at compiler/libs discretion
2. requires considerable effort in the compiler to support, as it
necessarily complicates every single site reasoning about alignment
3. has been justified based on relevance to codegen, but it is only a
requirement for C++ (not C, not Rust) stack frame layout for AIX,
in ways Rust would not consider even with increased C++ interop
4. is only used by rustc to overalign some globals, not correctness
5. can be adequately replaced by other rules for globals, as it mostly
affects alignments for a few types under 16 bytes of alignment
6. has only one clear benefactor: automating C -> Rust translation
for GNU extensions like `__alignof`
7. such code was likely intended to be `alignof` or `_Alignof`,
because the GNU extension is a "false friend" of the C keyword,
which makes the choice to support such a mapping very questionable
8. makes it easy to do incorrect codegen in the compiler by its mere
presence as usual Rust rules of alignment (e.g. `size == align * N`)
do not hold with preferred alignment
The implementation is clearly damaging the code quality of the compiler.
Thus it is within the compiler team's purview to simply rip it out.
If T-lang wishes to have this intrinsic restored for c2rust's benefit,
it would have to use a radically different implementation that somehow
does not cause internal incorrectness.
Until then, remove the intrinsic and its supporting code, as one tool
and an ill-considered GCC extension cannot justify risking correctness.
Because we touch a fair amount of the compiler to change this at all,
and unfortunately the duplication of AbiAndPrefAlign is deep-rooted,
we keep an "AbiAlign" type which we can wean code off later.
const-eval error: always say in which item the error occurred
I don't see why "is this generic" should make a difference. It may be reasonable to key this on whether the error occurs in a `const fn` that was invoked by a const (making it non-obvious which constant it is) vs inside the body of the const.

Use the informative error as the main const eval error message

I only did the minimal changes necessary to the const eval error machinery. I'd prefer not to mix test changes with refactorings 😆
intrinsics: unify rint, roundeven, nearbyint in a single round_ties_even intrinsic
LLVM has three intrinsics here that all do the same thing (when used in the default FP environment). There's no reason Rust needs to copy that historically-grown mess -- let's just have one intrinsic and leave it up to the LLVM backend to decide how to lower that.

Implement `needs-subprocess` directive, and cleanup a bunch of tests to use `needs-{subprocess,threads}`
### Summary
Closes#128295.
- Implements `//@ needs-subprocess` directive in compiletest as requested in #128295. However, compiletest is a host tool, so we can't just try to spawn process because that spawns the process on *host*, not the *target*, under cross-compilation scenarios.
- The short-term solution is to add *Yet Another* list of allow-list targets.
- The long-term solution is to first check if a `$target` supports std, then try to run a binary to do run-time capability detection *on the target*. But that is tricky because you have to build-and-run a binary *for the target*.
- This PR picks the short-term solution, because the long-term solution is highly non-trivial, and it's already an improvement over individual `ignore-*`s all over the place.
- Opened an issue about the long-term solution in #135928.
- Documents `//@ needs-subprocess` in rustc-dev-guide.
- Replace `ignore-{wasm,wasm32,emscripten,sgx}` with `needs-{subprocess,threads}` where suitable in tests.
- Some drive-by test changes as I was trying to figure out if I could use `needs-{subprocess,threads}` and found some bits needlessly distracting.

### Review advice
- Best reviewed commit-by-commit.
- Non-trivial test changes (not mechanically simple replacements) are split into individual commits to help with review. Their individual commit messages give some basic description of the changes.
- I *could* split some test changes out into another PR, but I found that I needed to change some tests to `needs-threads`, some to `needs-subprocess`, and some needed to use *both*, so they might conflict and become very annoying.

rustc_intrinsic: support functions without body
We synthesize a HIR body `loop {}` but such bodyless intrinsics.
Most of the diff is due to turning `ItemKind::Fn` into a brace (named-field) enum variant, because it carries a `bool`-typed field now. This is to remember whether the function has a body. MIR building panics to avoid ever translating the fake `loop {}` body, and the intrinsic logic uses the lack of a body to implicitly mark that intrinsic as must-be-overridden.
I first tried actually having no body rather than generating the fake body, but there's a *lot* of code that assumes that all function items have HIR and MIR, so this didn't work very well. Then I noticed that even `rustc_intrinsic_must_be_overridden` intrinsics have MIR generated (they are filled with an `Unreachable` terminator) so I guess I am not the first to discover this. ;)

Use backticks instead of single quotes for library feature names in diagnostics
This PR changes the text of library feature errors for using unstable or body-unstable items. Displaying library feature names in backticks is consistent with other diagnostics (e.g. those from `rustc_passes`) and with the `reason`s on unstable attributes in the library. Additionally, this simplifies diagnostics when supporting multiple unstable attributes on items (see #131824) since `DiagSymbolList` also displays symbols using backticks.
This is consistent with all other diagnostics I could find containing
features and enables the use of `DiagSymbolList` for generalizing
diagnostics for unstable library features to multiple features.
Fundamentally, we have *three* disjoint categories of functions:
1. const-stable functions
2. private/unstable functions that are meant to be callable from const-stable functions
3. functions that can make use of unstable const features
This PR implements the following system:
- `#[rustc_const_stable]` puts functions in the first category. It may only be applied to `#[stable]` functions.
- `#[rustc_const_unstable]` by default puts functions in the third category. The new attribute `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` can be added to such a function to move it into the second category.
- `const fn` without a const stability marker are in the second category if they are still unstable. They automatically inherit the feature gate for regular calls, it can now also be used for const-calls.
Also, several holes in recursive const stability checking are being closed.
There's still one potential hole that is hard to avoid, which is when MIR
building automatically inserts calls to a particular function in stable
functions -- which happens in the panic machinery. Those need to *not* be
`rustc_const_unstable` (or manually get a `rustc_const_stable_indirect`) to be
sure they follow recursive const stability. But that's a fairly rare and special
case so IMO it's fine.
The net effect of this is that a `#[unstable]` or unmarked function can be
constified simply by marking it as `const fn`, and it will then be
const-callable from stable `const fn` and subject to recursive const stability
requirements. If it is publicly reachable (which implies it cannot be unmarked),
it will be const-unstable under the same feature gate. Only if the function ever
becomes `#[stable]` does it need a `#[rustc_const_unstable]` or
`#[rustc_const_stable]` marker to decide if this should also imply
const-stability.
Adding `#[rustc_const_unstable]` is only needed for (a) functions that need to
use unstable const lang features (including intrinsics), or (b) `#[stable]`
functions that are not yet intended to be const-stable. Adding
`#[rustc_const_stable]` is only needed for functions that are actually meant to
be directly callable from stable const code. `#[rustc_const_stable_indirect]` is
used to mark intrinsics as const-callable and for `#[rustc_const_unstable]`
functions that are actually called from other, exposed-on-stable `const fn`. No
other attributes are required.
To fix the linker errors, we need to set the output extension to `.js` instead
of `.wasm`. Setting the output to a `.wasm` file puts Emscripten into standalone
mode which is effectively a distinct target. We need to set the runner to be
`node` as well.
This fixes most of the ui tests. I fixed a few more tests with simple problems:
- `intrinsics/intrinsic-alignment.rs` and `structs-enums/rec-align-u64.rs` --
Two `#[cfg]` macros match for Emscripten so we got a duplicate definition of
`mod m`.
- `issues/issue-12699.rs` -- Seems to hang so I disabled it
- `process/process-sigpipe.rs` -- Not expected to work on Emscripten so I
disabled it
Add intrinsics `fmuladd{f16,f32,f64,f128}`. This computes `(a * b) +
c`, to be fused if the code generator determines that (i) the target
instruction set has support for a fused operation, and (ii) that the
fused operation is more efficient than the equivalent, separate pair
of `mul` and `add` instructions.
https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#llvm-fmuladd-intrinsic
MIRI support is included for f32 and f64.
The codegen_cranelift uses the `fma` function from libc, which is a
correct implementation, but without the desired performance semantic. I
think this requires an update to cranelift to expose a suitable
instruction in its IR.
I have not tested with codegen_gcc, but it should behave the same
way (using `fma` from libc).
Documents that `BikeshedIntrinsicFrom` models transmute-via-union,
which is slightly more expressive than the transmute-via-cast
implemented by `transmute_copy`. Additionally, we provide an
implementation of transmute-via-union as a method on the
`BikeshedIntrinsicFrom` trait with additional documentation on
the boundary between trait invariants and caller obligations.
Whether or not transmute-via-union is the right kind of transmute
to model remains up for discussion [1]. Regardless, it seems wise
to document the present behavior.
