Sized Hierarchy: Part I
This patch implements the non-const parts of rust-lang/rfcs#3729. It introduces two new traits to the standard library, `MetaSized` and `PointeeSized`. See the RFC for the rationale behind these traits and to discuss whether this change makes sense in the abstract.
These traits are unstable (as is their constness), so users cannot refer to them without opting-in to `feature(sized_hierarchy)`. These traits are not behind `cfg`s as this would make implementation unfeasible, there would simply be too many `cfg`s required to add the necessary bounds everywhere. So, like `Sized`, these traits are automatically implemented by the compiler.
RFC 3729 describes changes which are necessary to preserve backwards compatibility given the introduction of these traits, which are implemented and as follows:
- `?Sized` is rewritten as `MetaSized`
- `MetaSized` is added as a default supertrait for all traits w/out an explicit sizedness supertrait already.
There are no edition migrations implemented in this, as these are primarily required for the constness parts of the RFC and prior to stabilisation of this (and so will come in follow-up PRs alongside the const parts). All diagnostic output should remain the same (showing `?Sized` even if the compiler sees `MetaSized`) unless the `sized_hierarchy` feature is enabled.
Due to the use of unstable extern types in the standard library and rustc, some bounds in both projects have had to be relaxed already - this is unfortunate but unavoidable so that these extern types can continue to be used where they were before. Performing these relaxations in the standard library and rustc are desirable longer-term anyway, but some bounds are not as relaxed as they ideally would be due to the inability to relax `Deref::Target` (this will be investigated separately).
It is hoped that this is implemented such that it could be merged and these traits could exist "under the hood" without that being observable to the user (other than in any performance impact this has on the compiler, etc). Some details might leak through due to the standard library relaxations, but this has not been observed in test output.
**Notes:**
- Any commits starting with "upstream:" can be ignored, as these correspond to other upstream PRs that this is based on which have yet to be merged.
- This best reviewed commit-by-commit. I've attempted to make the implementation easy to follow and keep similar changes and test output updates together.
- Each commit has a short description describing its purpose.
- This patch is large but it's primarily in the test suite.
- I've worked on the performance of this patch and a few optimisations are implemented so that the performance impact is neutral-to-minor.
- `PointeeSized` is a different name from the RFC just to make it more obvious that it is different from `std::ptr::Pointee` but all the names are yet to be bikeshed anyway.
- `@nikomatsakis` has confirmed [that this can proceed as an experiment from the t-lang side](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/435869-project-goals/topic/SVE.20and.20SME.20on.20AArch64.20.28goals.23270.29/near/506196491)

r? `@ghost` (I'll discuss this with relevant teams to find a reviewer)
As core uses an extern type (`ptr::VTable`), the default `?Sized` to
`MetaSized` migration isn't sufficient, and some code that previously
accepted `VTable` needs relaxed to continue to accept extern types.
Similarly, the compiler uses many extern types in `rustc_codegen_llvm`
and in the `rustc_middle::ty::List` implementation (`OpaqueListContents`)
some bounds must be relaxed to continue to accept these types.
Unfortunately, due to the current inability to relax `Deref::Target`,
some of the bounds in the standard library are forced to be stricter than
they ideally would be.
add `extern "custom"` functions
tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#140829
previous discussion: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/140566
In short, an `extern "custom"` function is a function with a custom ABI, that rust does not know about. Therefore, such functions can only be defined with `#[unsafe(naked)]` and `naked_asm!`, or via an `extern "C" { /* ... */ }` block. These functions cannot be called using normal rust syntax: calling them can only be done from inline assembly.
The motivation is low-level scenarios where a custom calling convention is used. Currently, we often pick `extern "C"`, but that is a lie because the function does not actually respect the C calling convention.
At the moment `"custom"` seems to be the name with the most support. That name is not final, but we need to pick something to actually implement this.

Replace ad-hoc ABI "adjustments" with an `AbiMap` to `CanonAbi`
Our `conv_from_spec_abi`, `adjust_abi`, and `is_abi_supported` combine to give us a very confusing way of reasoning about what _actual_ calling convention we want to lower our code to and whether we want to compile the resulting code at all. Instead of leaving this code as a miniature adventure game in which someone tries to combine stateful mutations into a Rube Goldberg machine that will let them escape the maze and arrive at the promised land of codegen, we let `AbiMap` devour this complexity. Once you have an `AbiMap`, you can answer which `ExternAbi`s will lower to what `CanonAbi`s (and whether they will lower at all).
Removed:
- `conv_from_spec_abi` replaced by `AbiMap::canonize_abi`
- `adjust_abi` replaced by same
- `Conv::PreserveAll` as unused
- `Conv::Cold` as unused
- `enum Conv` replaced by `enum CanonAbi`
target-spec.json changes:
- If you have a target-spec.json then now your "entry-abi" key will be specified in terms of one of the `"{abi}"` strings Rust recognizes, e.g.
```json
"entry-abi": "C",
"entry-abi": "win64",
"entry-abi": "aapcs",
```

Remove `weak` alias terminology
I find the "weak" alias terminology to be quite confusing. It implies the existence of "strong" aliases (which do not exist) and I'm not really sure what about weak aliases is "weak". I much prefer "free alias" as the term. I think it's much more obvious what it means as "free function" is a well defined term that already exists in rust.
It's also a little confusing given "weak alias" is already a term in linker/codegen spaces which are part of the compiler too. Though I'm not particularly worried about that as it's usually very obvious if you're talking about the type system or not lol. I'm also currently trying to write documentation about aliases and it's somewhat awkward/confusing to be talking about *weak* aliases, when I'm not really sure what the basis for that as the term actually *is*.
I would also be happy to just find out there's a nice meaning behind calling them "weak" aliases :-)
r? `@oli-obk`
maybe we want a types MCP to decide on a specific naming here? or maybe we think its just too late to go back on this naming decision ^^'
StableMIR: Implement `CompilerInterface`
This PR implements part of [the document](https://hackmd.io/``@celinaval/H1lJBGse0).``
With `TablesWrapper` wrapped by `CompilerInterface`, the stable-mir's TLV stores a pointer to `CompilerInterface`, while the rustc-specific TLV stores a pointer to tables.
Pass `args` to `run` instead of storing it in a field. This avoids the
need to clone it within `run`.
Also, change `args` from `Vec<String>` to `&[String]`, avoiding the need
for some vecs and clones.
- With `Context` wrapped by `SmirInterface`, the stable-mir's TLV stores a pointer to `SmirInterface`, while the rustc-specific TLV stores a pointer to tables.
- This PR make the `rustc_smir` mod public.
Overhaul `AssocItem`
`AssocItem` has multiple fields that only make sense some of the time. E.g. the `name` can be empty if it's an RPITIT associated type. It's clearer and less error prone if these fields are moved to the relevant `kind` variants.
r? ``@fee1-dead``
To accurately reflect that RPITIT assoc items don't have a name. This
avoids the use of `kw::Empty` to mean "no name", which is error prone.
Helps with #137978.
`hir::AssocItem` currently has a boolean `fn_has_self_parameter` field,
which is misplaced, because it's only relevant for associated fns, not
for associated consts or types. This commit moves it (and renames it) to
the `AssocKind::Fn` variant, where it belongs.
This requires introducing a new C-style enum, `AssocTag`, which is like
`AssocKind` but without the fields. This is because `AssocKind` values
are passed to various functions like `find_by_ident_and_kind` to
indicate what kind of associated item should be searched for, and having
to specify `has_self` isn't relevant there.
New methods:
- Predicates `AssocItem::is_fn` and `AssocItem::is_method`.
- `AssocItem::as_tag` which converts `AssocItem::kind` to `AssocTag`.
Removed `find_by_name_and_kinds`, which is unused.
`AssocItem::descr` can now distinguish between methods and associated
functions, which slightly improves some error messages.
