Fix linker-plugin-lto only doing thin lto
When rust provides LLVM bitcode files to lld and the bitcode contains
function summaries as used for thin lto, lld defaults to using thin lto.
This prevents some optimizations that are only applied for fat lto.
We solve this by not creating function summaries when fat lto is
enabled. The bitcode for the module is just directly written out.
An alternative solution would be to set the `ThinLTO=0` module flag to
signal lld to do fat lto.
The code in clang that sets this flag is here:
560149b5e3/clang/lib/CodeGen/BackendUtil.cpp (L1150)
The code in LLVM that queries the flag and defaults to thin lto if not
set is here:
e258bca950/llvm/lib/Bitcode/Writer/BitcodeWriter.cpp (L4441-L4446)

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.
Various refactors to the LTO handling code (part 2)
Continuing from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/143388 this removes a bit of dead code and moves the LTO symbol export calculation from individual backends to cg_ssa.
Various refactors to the LTO handling code
In particular reducing the sharing of code paths between fat and thin-LTO and making the fat LTO implementation more self-contained. This also moves some autodiff handling out of cg_ssa into cg_llvm given that Enzyme only works with LLVM anyway and an implementation for another backend may do things entirely differently. This will also make it a bit easier to split LTO handling out of the coordinator thread main loop into a separate loop, which should reduce the complexity of the coordinator thread.
Most uses of it either contain a fat or thin lto module. Only
WorkItem::LTO could contain both, but splitting that enum variant
doesn't complicate things much.
There is no safety contract and I don't think any of them can actually
cause UB in more ways than passing malicious source code to rustc can.
While LtoModuleCodegen::optimize says that the returned ModuleCodegen
points into the LTO module, the LTO module has already been dropped by
the time this function returns, so if the returned ModuleCodegen indeed
points into the LTO module, we would have seen crashes on every LTO
compilation, which we don't. As such the comment is outdated.
Rename `is_like_osx` to `is_like_darwin`
Replace `is_like_osx` with `is_like_darwin`, which more closely describes reality (OS X is the pre-2016 name for macOS, and is by now quite outdated; Darwin is the overall name for the OS underlying Apple's macOS, iOS, etc.).

Avoid no-op unlink+link dances in incr comp
Incremental compilation scales quite poorly with the number of CGUs. This PR improves one reason for that.
The incr comp process hard-links all the files from an old session into a new one, then it runs the backend, which may just hard-link the new session files into the output directory. Then codegen hard-links all the output files back to the new session directory.
This PR (perhaps unimaginatively) fixes the silliness that ensues in the last step. The old `link_or_copy` implementation would be passed pairs of paths which are already the same inode, then it would blindly delete the destination and re-create the hard-link that it just deleted. This PR lets us skip both those operations. We don't skip the other two hard-links.

This reduces the number of hard-links that are causing perf troubles, noted in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64291 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/137560
Continuing the work from #137350.
Removes the unused methods: `expect_variant`, `expect_field`,
`expect_foreign_item`.
Every method gains a `hir_` prefix.
Clean up various LLVM FFI things in codegen_llvm
cc ```@ZuseZ4``` I touched some autodiff parts
The major change of this PR is [bfd88ce](bfd88cead0) which makes `CodegenCx` generic just like `GenericBuilder`
The other commits mostly took advantage of the new feature of making extern functions safe, but also just used some wrappers that were already there and shrunk unsafe blocks.

The embedded bitcode should always be prepared for LTO/ThinLTO
Fixes#115344. Fixes#117220.
There are currently two methods for generating bitcode that used for LTO. One method involves using `-C linker-plugin-lto` to emit object files as bitcode, which is the typical setting used by cargo. The other method is through `-C embed-bitcode=yes`.
When using with `-C embed-bitcode=yes -C lto=no`, we run a complete non-LTO LLVM pipeline to obtain bitcode, then the bitcode is used for LTO. We run the Call Graph Profile Pass twice on the same module.
This PR is doing something similar to LLVM's `buildFatLTODefaultPipeline`, obtaining the bitcode for embedding after running `buildThinLTOPreLinkDefaultPipeline`.

Misc. `rustc_codegen_ssa` cleanups 🧹
Just a bunch of stuff I found while reading the crate's code.
Each commit can stand on its own.
Maybe r? `@Noratrieb` because I saw you did some similar cleanups on these files a while ago? (feel free to re-assign, I'm just guessing)
