These docs were very out of date and misleading. They even said that
they codegen'd the *AST*!
For some reason, the `rustc_codegen_ssa::base` docs were exactly
identical to the `rustc_codegen_llvm::base` docs. They didn't really
make sense, because they had LLVM-specific information even though
`rustc_codegen_ssa` is supposed to be somewhat generic. So I removed
them as they were misleading.
This is helpful when looking for CGUs where the size estimate isn't a
good indicator of compilation time.
I verified that moving the profiling timer call doesn't affect the
results.
Preparation for a subsequent change that replaces
rustc_target::config::Config with its wrapped Target.
On its own, this commit breaks the build. I don't like making
build-breaking commits, but in this instance I believe that it
makes review easier, as the "real" changes of this PR can be
seen much more easily.
