Rename target_pointer_width to pointer_width because it is already
member of the Target struct.
The compiler supports only three valid values for target_pointer_width:
16, 32, 64. Thus it can safely be turned into an int.
This means less allocations and clones as well as easier handling of the type.
Remove unused code
Rustc has a builtin lint for detecting unused code inside a crate, but when an item is marked `pub`, the code, even if unused inside the entire workspace, is never marked as such. Therefore, I've built [warnalyzer](https://github.com/est31/warnalyzer) to detect unused items in a cross-crate setting.
Closes https://github.com/est31/warnalyzer/issues/2
Codegen backend interface refactor
This moves several things away from the codegen backend to rustc_interface. There are a few behavioral changes where previously the incremental cache (incorrectly) wouldn't get finalized, but now it does. See the individual commit messages.
Defer Apple SDKROOT detection to link time.
This defers the detection of the SDKROOT for Apple iOS/tvOS targets to link time, instead of when the `Target` is defined. This allows commands that don't need to link to work (like `rustdoc` or `rustc --print=target-list`). This also makes `--print=target-list` a bit faster.
This also removes the note in the platform support documentation about these targets being missing. When I wrote it, I misunderstood how the SDKROOT stuff worked.
Notes:
* This means that JSON spec targets can't explicitly override these flags. I think that is probably fine, as I believe the value is generally required, and can be set with the SDKROOT environment variable.
* This changes `x86_64-apple-tvos` to use `appletvsimulator`. I think the original code was wrong (it was using `iphonesimulator`). Also, `x86_64-apple-tvos` seems broken in general, and I cannot build it locally. The `data_layout` does not appear to be correct (it is a copy of the arm64 layout instead of the x86_64 layout). I have not tried building Apple's LLVM to see if that helps, but I suspect it is just wrong (I'm uncertain since I don't know how the tvOS simulator works with its bitcode-only requirements).
* I'm tempted to remove the use of `Result` for built-in target definitions, since I don't think they should be fallible. This was added in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/34980, but that only relates to JSON definitions. I think the built-in targets shouldn't fail. I can do this now, or not.
Fixes#36156Fixes#76584
Found that -C link-dead-code (which was enabled automatically
under -Z instrument-coverage) was causing the linking error that
resulted in segmentation faults in coverage instrumented binaries. Link
dead code is now disabled under MSVC, allowing `-Z instrument-coverage`
to be enabled under MSVC for the first time.
More details are included in Issue #76038.
