Stuart Cook 6ad98750e0 Rollup merge of #145660 - jbatez:darwin_objc, r=jdonszelmann,madsmtm,tmandry
initial implementation of the darwin_objc unstable feature

Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/145496

This feature makes it possible to reference Objective-C classes and selectors using the same ABI used by native Objective-C on Apple/Darwin platforms. Without it, Rust code interacting with Objective-C must resort to loading classes and selectors using costly string-based lookups at runtime. With it, these references can be loaded efficiently at dynamic load time.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
