It turns out that this has not been working for who knows how long.
Previously:
```
pub fn h() { 1 + 2; }
```
After this change:
```
pub fn h() { loop {} }
```
This only affected the pass when run with the command line
pretty-printing option, so rustdoc was still replacing bodies with
`loop {}`.
Refactorings to get rid of rustc_codegen_utils
r? @eddyb
cc #45276
After this, the only modules left in `rustc_codegen_utils` are
- `link`: a bunch of linking-related functions (many dealing with file names). These are mostly consumed by save analysis, rustc_driver, rustc_interface, and of course codegen. I assume they live here because we don't want a dependency of save analysis on codegen... Perhaps they can be moved to librustc?
- ~`symbol_names` and `symbol_names_test`: honestly it seems odd that `symbol_names_test` is not a submodule of `symbol_names`. It seems like these could honestly live in their own crate or move to librustc. Already name mangling is exported as the `symbol_name` query.~ (move it to its own crate)
I don't mind doing either of the above as part of this PR or a followup if you want.
Rename rustc guide
This is in preparation for https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-guide/issues/470
Needs to be merged after we actually rename the guide.
Have used this to rename:
`git grep -l 'rustc_guide' | xargs sed -i 's/rustc_guide/rustc_dev_guide/g'`
`git grep -l 'rustc-guide' | xargs sed -i 's/rustc-guide/rustc-dev-guide/g'`
`git grep -l 'rustc guide' | xargs sed -i 's/rustc guide/rustc dev guide/g'`
`--explain` disambiguates no long description and invalid error codes
Closes#44710
First code contribution here, so feedback is very much appreciated!

Remove a few unused objects
As far as I can tell, these won't be missed:
- `infer::region_constraints::ConstraintInfo`
- `driver::DefaultCallbacks`
- ~~`hir::intravisit::ParDeepVisitor`~~
[experiment] Support linking from a .rlink file
Flag `-Z no-link` was previously introduced, which allows creating an `.rlink` file to perform compilation without linking. This change enables linking from an `.rlink` file.
Part of Issue #64191
Remove unused feature gates
I think many of the remaining unstable things can be easily be replaced with stable things. I have kept the `#![feature(nll)]` even though it is only necessary in `libstd`, to make regressions of it harder.
