Explicitly export core and std macros
Currently all core and std macros are automatically added to the prelude via #[macro_use]. However a situation arose where we want to add a new macro `assert_matches` but don't want to pull it into the standard prelude for compatibility reasons. By explicitly exporting the macros found in the core and std crates we get to decide on a per macro basis and can later add them via the rust_20xx preludes.

# Stabilization report lib
Everything N/A or already covered by lang report except, breaking changes: The unstable and never intended for public use `format_args_nl` macro is no longer publicly accessible as requested by @petrochenkov. Affects <10 crates including dependencies.
# Stabilization report lang
## Summary
Explicitly export core and std macros.
This change if merged would change the code injected into user crates to no longer include #[macro_use] on extern crate core and extern crate std. This change is motivated by a near term goal and a longer term goal. The near term goal is to allow a macro to be defined at the std or core crate root but not have it be part of the implicit prelude. Such macros can then be separately promoted to the prelude in a new edition. Specifically this is blocking the stabilization of assert_matches rust-lang/rust#137487. The longer term goal is to gradually deprecate #[macro_use]. By no longer requiring it for standard library usage, this serves as a step towards that goal. For more information see rust-lang/rust#53977.

### What is stabilized
Stabilization:
* `#[macro_use]` is no longer automatically included in the crate root module. This allows the explicit import of macros in the `core` and `std` prelude e.g. `pub use crate::dbg;`.
* `ambiguous_panic_imports` lint. Code that previously passed without warnings, but included the following or equivalent - only pertaining to core vs std panic - will now receive a warning:
```rust
#![no_std]
extern crate std;
use std::prelude::v1::*;
fn xx() {
panic!(); // resolves to core::panic
//~^ WARNING `panic` is ambiguous
//~| WARNING this was previously accepted by the compiler but is being phased out; it will become a hard error in a future release!
}
```
This lint is tied to a new exception to the name resolution logic in [compiler/rustc_resolve/src/ident.rs](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139493/files#diff-c046507afdba3b0705638f53fffa156cbad72ed17aa01d96d7bd1cc10b8d9bce) similar to an exception added for https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/145575. Specifically this only happens if the import of two builtin macros is ambiguous and they are named `sym::panic`. I.e. this can only happen for `core::panic` and `std::panic`. While there are some tiny differences in what syntax is allowed in `std::panic` vs `core::panic` in editions 2015 and 2018, [see](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/139493#issuecomment-2796481622). The behavior at runtime will always be the same if it compiles, implying minimal risk in what specific macro is resolved. At worst some closed source project not captured by crater will stop compiling because a different panic is resolved than previously and they were using obscure syntax like `panic!(&String::new())`.

### Breaking changes
> If this stabilization represents a known breaking change, link to the crater report, the analysis of the crater report, and to all PRs we've made to ecosystem projects affected by this breakage. Discuss any limitations of what we're able to know about or to fix.
Breaking changes:
* It's possible for user code to invoke an ambiguity by defining their own macros with standard library names and glob importing them, e.g. `use nom::*` importing `nom::dbg`. In practice this happens rarely based on crater data. The 3 public crates where this was an issue, have been fixed. The ambiguous panic import is more common and affects a non-trivial amount of the public - and likely private - crate ecosystem. To avoid a breaking change, a new future incompatible lint was added ambiguous_panic_imports see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/147319. This allows current code to continue compiling, albeit with a new warning. Future editions of Rust make this an error and future versions of Rust can choose to make this error. Technically this is a breaking change, but crater gives us the confidence that the impact will be at worst a new warning for 99+% of public and private crates.
```rust
#![no_std]
extern crate std;
use std::prelude::v1::*;
fn xx() {
panic!(); // resolves to core::panic
//~^ WARNING `panic` is ambiguous
//~| WARNING this was previously accepted by the compiler but is being phased out; it will become a hard error in a future release!
}
```
* Code using `#![no_implicit_prelude]` *and* Rust edition 2015 will no longer automatically have access to the prelude macros. The following works on nightly but would stop working with this change:
```rust
#![no_implicit_prelude]
// Uncomment to fix error.
// use std::vec;
fn main() {
let _ = vec![3, 6];
}
```
Inversely with this change the `panic` and `unreachable` macro will always be in the prelude even if `#![no_implicit_prelude]` is specified.
Error matrix when using `#![no_implicit_prelude]`, ✅ means compiler passes 🚫 means compiler error:
Configuration | Rust 2015 | Rust 2018+
--------------|-----------|-----------
Nightly (panic\|unreachable) macro | ✅ | 🚫
PR (panic\|unreachable) macro | ✅ | ✅
Nightly (column\|concat\|file\|line\|module_path\|stringify) macro | ✅ | ✅
PR (column\|concat\|file\|line\|module_path\|stringify) macro | ✅ | ✅
Nightly remaining macros | ✅ | 🚫
PR remaining macros | 🚫 | 🚫
Addressing this issue is deemed expensive.
Crater found no instance of this pattern in use. Affected code can fix the issue by directly importing the macros. The new behavior matches the behavior of `#![no_implicit_prelude]` in Rust editions 2018 and beyond and it's intuitive meaning.

Don't suggest replacing closure parameter with type name
When a closure has an inferred parameter type like `|ch|` and the expected type differs in borrowing (e.g., `char` vs `&char`), the suggestion would incorrectly propose `|char|` instead of something valid like `|ch: char|`.
This happened because the code couldn't walk explicit `&` references in the HIR when the type is inferred, and fell back to replacing the entire parameter span with the expected type name.
Fix by only emitting the suggestion when we can properly identify the `&` syntax to remove.

Remove a workaround for a bug (take 2)
I don't think it is necessary anymore. As I understand it from issue 39504 the original problem was that rustbuild changed a hardlink in the cargo build dir to point to copy in the sysroot while cargo may have hardlinked it to the original first. I don't think this happens anymore and as such this workaround is no longer necessary
I can't reproduce the CI failure in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122186 locally with `./x.py test library/core`. It is possible this got fixed by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/149273.

Destabilise `target-spec-json`
Per rust-lang/compiler-team#944:
> Per https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/71009, the ability to load target spec JSONs was stabilised accidentally. Within the team, we've always considered the format to be unstable and have changed it freely. This has been feasible as custom targets can only be used with core, like any other target, and so custom targets de-facto require nightly to be used (i.e. to build core manually or use Cargo's -Zbuild-std).
>
> Current build-std RFCs (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3873, https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3874) propose a mechanism for building core on stable (at the request of Rust for Linux), which combined with a stable target-spec-json format, permit the current format to be used much more widely on stable toolchains. This would prevent us from improving the format - making it less tied to LLVM, switching to TOML, enabling keys in the spec to be stabilised individually, etc.
>
> De-stabilising the format gives us the opportunity to improve the format before it is too challenging to do so. Internal company toolchains and projects like Rust for Linux already use target-spec-json, but must use nightly at some point while doing so, so while it could be inconvenient for those users to destabilise this, it is hoped that an minimal alternative that we could choose to stabilise can be proposed relatively quickly.
Currently all core and std macros are automatically added to the prelude
via #[macro_use]. However a situation arose where we want to add a new macro
`assert_matches` but don't want to pull it into the standard prelude for
compatibility reasons. By explicitly exporting the macros found in the core and
std crates we get to decide on a per macro basis and can later add them via
the rust_20xx preludes.
Dogfood `-Zno-embed-metadata` in the standard library
This PR dogfoods the [`-Zno-embed-metadata`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/15495) flag in the standard library. This removes the .rmeta portion out of the `libstd.so` file, thus reducing its filesize on disk. Notably, this reduces the amount of MiB that we ship to people who download the standard library.
I think that the only way to find out what this breaks is to try to run full CI, and then try to land it on nightly :)
