Improve default target options for x86_64-unknown-linux-none
Without a standard library, we cannot unwind, so it should be panic=abort by default.
Additionally, it does not have std because while it is Linux, it cannot use libc, which std uses today for Linux.
Using PIE by default may be surprising to users, as shown in #134763, so I've documented it explicitly. I'm not sure if we want to count that as fixing the issue or not.
cc `@morr0ne,` as you added the target (and are the maintainer), and `@Noratrieb,` who reviewed that PR (:D).
Promote powerpc64le-unknown-linux-musl to tier 2 with host tools
MCP: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/803
I'm using crosstool-ng for building a toolchain because GCC 9 from `musl-toolchain.sh` has float ABI issues (?) and can't compile LLVM, and writing a crosstool-ng config for a target feels less hacky than yet another target specific shell script. I also defined a kernel version, since there wasn't one specified before. If a lower version is desired, just let me know. I also tried to match the rust configure args with the loongarch64 musl tier 2 target.
The resulting compiler works fine, built with `DEPLOY=1 ./src/ci/docker/run.sh dist-powerpc64le-linux` and tested on Alpine Linux in a VM and on a bare metal POWER8 machine:

This adds documentation for the following existing targets:
s390x-unknown-linux-gnu (Tier 2 with host tools)
s390x-unknown-linux-musl (Tier 3)
I volunteer as maintainer for these targets going forward.

This commit is the final step in the journey of renaming the historical
`wasm32-wasi` target in the Rust compiler to `wasm32-wasip1`. Various
steps in this journey so far have been:
* 2023-04-03: rust-lang/compiler-team#607 - initial proposal for this rename
* 2024-11-27: rust-lang/compiler-team#695 - amended schedule/procedure for rename
* 2024-01-29: rust-lang/rust#120468 - initial introduction of `wasm32-wasip1`
* 2024-06-18: rust-lang/rust#126662 - warn on usage of `wasm32-wasi`
* 2024-11-08: this PR - remove the `wasm32-wasi` target
The full transition schedule is in [this comment][comment] and is
summarized with:
* 2024-05-02: Rust 1.78 released with `wasm32-wasip1` target
* 2024-09-05: Rust 1.81 released warning on usage of `wasm32-wasi`
* 2025-01-09: Rust 1.84 to be released without the `wasm32-wasi` target
This means that support on stable for the replacement target of
`wasm32-wasip1` has currently been available for 6 months. Users have
already seen warnings on stable for 2 months about usage of
`wasm32-wasi` and stable users have another 2 months of warnings before
the target is removed from stable.
This commit is intended to be the final step in this transition so the
source tree should no longer mention `wasm32-wasi` except in historical
reference to the older name of the `wasm32-wasip1` target.

Remove support for `-Zprofile` (gcov-style coverage instrumentation)
Tracking issue: #42524
MCP: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/798
---
This PR removes the unstable `-Zprofile` flag, which enables ”gcov-style” coverage instrumentation, along with its associated `-Zprofile-emit` configuration flag.
(The profile flag predates and is almost entirely separate from the stable `-Cinstrument-coverage` flag.)
Notably, the `-Zprofile` flag:
- Is largely untested in-tree, having only one run-make test that does not check whether its output is correct or useful.
- Has no known maintainer.
- Has seen no push towards stabilization.
- Has at least one severe regression reported in 2022 that apparently remains unaddressed.
- #100125
- Is confusingly named, since it appears to be more about coverage than performance profiling, and has nothing to do with PGO.
- Is fundamentally limited by relying on counters auto-inserted by LLVM, with no knowledge of Rust beyond debuginfo.

ci update freebsd version proposal, freebsd 12 being eol
raising to the lowest still active supported freebsd version.
From 13.1 (already eol too), freebsd introduces a cpu affinity layer
with linux. It also introduces a api compatible copy_file_range which
can be used like its linux's counterpart.
The former is essential to build https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120589, therefore breaks the backward
compatibility with the previous FreeBSD releases.

Add wasm32-unknown-emscripten platform support document
This PR adds the platform support document for wasm32-unknown-emscripten, and adds a warning about breaks in Emscripten ABI compatibility (see #131467).
I mostly based the document off the wasm32-unknown-unknown docs and some of the information may still be missing (e.g. who's the target maintainer) or outdated (e.g. the build requirements). I still hope that it provides a good starting point.
