rust_for_linux: -Zreg-struct-return commandline flag for X86 (#116973)
Command line flag `-Zreg-struct-return` for X86 (32-bit) for rust-for-linux.
This flag enables the same behavior as the `abi_return_struct_as_int` target spec key.
- Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116973
Remove `-Zshow-span`.
It's very old (added in #12087). It's strange, and it's not clear what its use cases are. It only works with the crate root file because it runs before expansion. I suspect it won't be missed.

its use cases are. It only works with the crate root file because it
runs before expansion. I suspect it won't be missed.
I was surprised to find that running with `-Zparse-only` only parses the
crate root file. Other files aren't parsed because that happens later
during expansion.
This commit renames the option and updates the help message to make this
clearer.
Don't allow `-Zunstable-options` to take a value
Passing an explicit boolean value (`-Zunstable-options=on`, `off` etc.) sometimes appears to work, but actually puts the compiler into an unintended state where unstable _options_ are still forbidden, but unstable values of _some_ stable options are allowed.
This is a result of `-Zunstable-options` being checked in multiple different places, in slightly different ways. Fixing the checks in `config::nightly_options` to understand boolean values would be non-trivial, so for now it's easier to make things consistent by forbidding values in the `-Z` parser.
---
There were a few uses of this in tests, which happened to work because they were tests of unstable values.

rustc_codegen_llvm: Add a new 'pc' option to branch-protection
Add a new 'pc' option to -Z branch-protection for aarch64 that enables the use of PC as a diversifier in PAC branch protection code.
When the pauth-lr target feature is enabled in combination with -Z branch-protection=pac-ret,pc, the new 9.5-a instructions (pacibsppc, retaasppc, etc) will be generated.
make codegen help output more consistent
The output of `rustc -C help` generally has one option per line. There was one exception because of a (presumably) forgotten line continuation escape.

deprecate -Csoft-float because it is unsound (and not fixable)
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/129893 for details. The general sentiment there seems to be that this flag has no use and sound alternatives exist, so let's add this warning and see if anyone out there disagrees.
Also show a different warning on targets where it does nothing (as documented since https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/36261): it seems to correspond to `-mfloat-abi` in GCC/clang, which is an ARM-specific option. To be really sure it does nothing, only forward the flag to LLVM for eabihf targets. This should not change behavior but makes me sleep better ;)
Add -Z small-data-threshold
This flag allows specifying the threshold size above which LLVM should not consider placing small objects in a `.sdata` or `.sbss` section.
Support is indicated in the target options via the
small-data-threshold-support target option, which can indicate either an
LLVM argument or an LLVM module flag. To avoid duplicate specifications
in a large number of targets, the default value for support is
DefaultForArch, which is translated to a concrete value according to the
target's architecture.

We want to allow setting this on the CLI, override it only in MIR
passes, and disable it altogether in mir-opt tests.
The default value is "only for NLL MIR dumps", which is considered off
for all intents and purposes, except for `rustc_borrowck` when an NLL
MIR dump is requested.
