Add "algebraic" fast-math intrinsics, based on fast-math ops that cannot return poison
Setting all of LLVM's fast-math flags makes our fast-math intrinsics very dangerous, because some inputs are UB. This set of flags permits common algebraic transformations, but according to the [LangRef](https://llvm.org/docs/LangRef.html#fastmath), only the flags `nnan` (no nans) and `ninf` (no infs) can produce poison.
And this uses the algebraic float ops to fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/120720

They're not used in `rustc_session`, and `rustc_metadata` is a more
obvious location.
`MetadataLoader` was originally put into `rustc_session` in #41565 to
avoid a dependency on LLVM, but things have changed a lot since then and
that's no longer relevant, e.g. `rustc_codegen_llvm` depends on
`rustc_metadata`.
cleanup: remove pointee types
This can't be merged until the oldest LLVM version we support uses opaque pointers, which will be the case after #114148. (Also note `-Cllvm-args="-opaque-pointers=0"` can technically be used in LLVM 15, though I don't think we should support that configuration.)
I initially hoped this would provide some minor perf win, but in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/105412#issuecomment-1341224450 it had very little impact, so this is only valuable as a cleanup.
As a followup, this will enable #96242 to be resolved.

clarify MIR uninit vs LLVM undef/poison
In [this LLVM discussion](https://discourse.llvm.org/t/rfc-load-instruction-uninitialized-memory-semantics/67481) I learned that mapping our uninitialized memory in MIR to poison in LLVM would be quite problematic due to the lack of a byte type. I am not sure where to write down this insight but this seems like a reasonable start.
Support `--print KIND=PATH` command line syntax
As is already done for `--emit KIND=PATH` and `-L KIND=PATH`.
In the discussion of #110785, it was pointed out that `--print KIND=PATH` is nicer than trying to apply the single global `-o` path to `--print`'s output, because in general there can be multiple print requests within a single rustc invocation, and anyway `-o` would already be used for a different meaning in the case of `link-args` and `native-static-libs`.
I am interested in using `--print cfg=PATH` in Buck2. Currently Buck2 works around the lack of support for `--print KIND=PATH` by [indirecting through a Python wrapper script](d43cf3a51a/prelude/rust/tools/get_rustc_cfg.py) to redirect rustc's stdout into the location dictated by the build system.
From skimming Cargo's usages of `--print`, it definitely seems like it would benefit from `--print KIND=PATH` too. Currently it is working around the lack of this by inserting `--crate-name=___ --print=crate-name` so that it can look for a line containing `___` as a delimiter between the 2 other `--print` informations it actually cares about. This is commented as a "HACK" and "abuse". 31eda6f7c3/src/cargo/core/compiler/build_context/target_info.rs (L242) (FYI `@weihanglo` as you dealt with this recently in https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/11633.)

LLVM has a neat [statistics] feature that tracks how often optimizations kick
in. It's very handy for optimization work. Since we expose the LLVM pass
timings, I thought it made sense to expose the LLVM statistics too.

Removed use of iteration through a HashMap/HashSet in rustc_incremental and replaced with IndexMap/IndexSet
This allows for the `#[allow(rustc::potential_query_instability)]` in rustc_incremental to be removed, moving towards fixing #84447 (although a LOT more modules have to be changed to fully resolve it). Only HashMaps/HashSets that are being iterated through have been modified (although many structs and traits outside of rustc_incremental had to be modified as well, as they had fields/methods that involved a HashMap/HashSet that would be iterated through)
I'm making a PR for just 1 module changed to test for performance regressions and such, for future changes I'll either edit this PR to reflect additional modules being converted, or batch multiple modules of changes together and make a PR for each group of modules.
Introduce `DynSend` and `DynSync` auto trait for parallel compiler
part of parallel-rustc #101566
This PR introduces `DynSend / DynSync` trait and `FromDyn / IntoDyn` structure in rustc_data_structure::marker. `FromDyn` can dynamically check data structures for thread safety when switching to parallel environments (such as calling `par_for_each_in`). This happens only when `-Z threads > 1` so it doesn't affect single-threaded mode's compile efficiency.

This commit adds cross-language LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI)
support to the Rust compiler by adding the
`-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers` option to be used with Clang
`-fsanitize-cfi-icall-normalize-integers` for normalizing integer types
(see https://reviews.llvm.org/D139395).
It provides forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust
-compiled code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust
-compiled code share the same virtual address space). For more
information about LLVM CFI and cross-language LLVM CFI support for the
Rust compiler, see design document in the tracking issue #89653.
Cross-language LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and
-Zsanitizer-cfi-normalize-integers, and requires proper (i.e.,
non-rustc) LTO (i.e., -Clinker-plugin-lto).
LLVM can usually optimize these away, but especially for things like transmutes of newtypes it's silly to generate the `alloc`+`store`+`load` at all when it's actually a nop at LLVM level.
In cases where it is legal, we should prefer poison values over
undef values.
This replaces undef with poison for aggregate construction and
for uninhabited types. There are more places where we can likely
use poison, but I wanted to stay conservative to start with.
In particular the aggregate case is important for newer LLVM
versions, which are not able to handle an undef base value during
early optimization due to poison-propagation concerns.
Extend `CodegenBackend` trait with a function returning the translation
resources from the codegen backend, which can be added to the complete
list of resources provided to the emitter.

Use struct types during codegen in less places
This makes it easier to use cg_ssa from a backend like Cranelift that doesn't have any struct types at all. After this PR struct types are still used for function arguments and return values. Removing those usages is harder but should still be doable.
