Migrate `run-make/issue64319` to `rmake` and rename
Part of #121876 and the associated [Google Summer of Code project](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/05/01/gsoc-2024-selected-projects.html).
~~I noticed that the Makefile was not listed in `allowed-run-makefiles` in Tidy. Does this mean the test was being ignored?~~ EDIT: No, it was there, just not in its expected alphabetical order.
EDIT2: Perhaps it could be interesting to clean this test visually by looping over the `rustc` calls, like in #125227.
Adjust Allocation Bytes used by Miri to custom MiriAllocBytes
Previously, the `MiriMachine` used `type Bytes = Box<[u8]>` for its allocations.
This PR swaps this out for a custom `MiriAllocBytes` type implemented in `alloc_bytes.rs`.
This is in anticipation of an extension to Miri's FFI, which will require its allocations to take care of alignment (the methods in `impl AllocBytes for Box<[u8]>` ignore this `_align: Align` argument).

set `rust.channel` properly in source tarballs
This change sets the appropriate channel by default when using nightly, beta or stable source tarballs.

Enable `rust-lld` on nightly `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`
We believe we have done virtually all the internal work and tests we could to prepare for using `lld` as the default linker (at least on Linux). We're IMHO at a point where we'd need to expand testing and coverage in order to make progress on this effort.
Therefore, for further testing and gathering real-world feedback, unexpected issues and use-cases, this PR enables `rust-lld` as the default linker:
- on nightly only (and dev channel)
- on `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` only
- when not using an external LLVM (except `download-ci-llvm`), so that distros are not impacted
as described in more detail in this [zulip thread](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/Enabling.20.60rust-lld.60.20on.20nightly.20.60x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.60/near/433709343).
In case any issues happen to users, as e.g. lld is not bug-for-bug compatible with GNU ld, it's easy to disable with `-Zlinker-features=-lld` to revert to using the system's default linker.

I don't know who should review this kind of things, as it's somewhat of a crosscutting effort. Compiler contributor, compiler performance WG and infra member sounds perfect, so r? `@Mark-Simulacrum.`
The last crater run encountered a low number (44) of mainly avoidable issues, like small incompatibilities, user errors, and a difference between the two linkers about which default to use with `--gc-sections`. [Here's the triage report](https://hackmd.io/OAJxlxc6Te6YUot9ftYSKQ?view), categorizing the issues, with some analyses and workarounds. I'd appreciate another set of eyes looking at these results.
The changes in this PR have been test-driven for CI changes, try builds with tests enabled, rustc-perf with bootstrapping, in PR #113382.
For infra, about the CI change: this PR forces `rust.lld` to false on vanilla LLVM builders, just to make sure we have coverage without `rust-lld`. Though to be clear, just using an external LLVM is already enough to keep `rust.lld` to false, in turn reverting everything to using the system's default linker.
cc `@rust-lang/bootstrap` for the bootstrap and config change
cc `@petrochenkov` for the small compiler change
cc `@rust-lang/wg-compiler-performance`
The blog post announcing the change, that we expect to merge around the same time as we merge this PR, is open [on the blog repo](https://github.com/rust-lang/blog.rust-lang.org/pull/1319).
Bootstrap change history: this PR changes the default of a config option on `x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu`. It's, however, not expected to cause issues, or require any changes to existing configurations. It's a big enough change that people should at least know about it, in case it causes unexpected problems. If that happens, set `rust.lld = false` in your `config.toml` (and open an issue).
`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` has switched to using the self-contained linker
by default (unless asked not to), so we have to build rust-lld:
- when we build our own llvm
- when we use download-ci-llvm
- otherwise, when using an external llvm we can't enable it
This profile has only undergone minimal tweaks since it was originally
drafted. I asked a number of compiler contributors and they said they
set rust.debug explicitly. This was even true for one contributor that
set `rust.debug` = false! Almost everyone seems slightly surprised that
`rust.debug = true` is not the default.
However, adding full debuginfo at this level costs multiple gigabytes!
We can still get much better debuginfo by setting "line-tables-only"
at the cost of only 150~200 MB.
rustdoc: Negative impls are not notable
In #124097, we add `impl !Iterator for [T]` for coherence reasons, and since `Iterator` is a [notable trait](8387315ab3/library/core/src/iter/traits/iterator.rs (L40)), this means that all `-> &[_]` now are tagged with a `!Iterator` impl as a notable trait.
I "fixed" the failing tests in that PR with 6cbbb8b709a43482847243484ed67131e372ba71, where I just blessed the tests, since I didn't want to mix these changes with that PR; however, don't believe negative impls are notable, and this PR aims to prevent these impls from being mentioned.
In the standard library, we use negative impls purely to guide coherence. They're not really a signal of anything useful to the end-user. If there ever is a case that we want negative impls to be mentioned as notable, this really should be an opt-in feature.
