This commit applies a few code size optimizations for the wasm target to
the standard library, namely around panics. We notably know that in most
configurations it's impossible for us to print anything in
wasm32-unknown-unknown so we can skip larger portions of panicking that
are otherwise simply informative. This allows us to get quite a nice
size reduction.
Finally we can also tweak where the allocation happens for the
`Box<Any>` that we panic with. By only allocating once unwinding starts
we can reduce the size of a panicking wasm module from 44k to 350 bytes.
rustc: Enable #[thread_local] for Windows
I think LLVM has had support for quite some time now for this, we just never got
around to testing it out and binding it. We've had some trouble landing this in
the past I believe, but it's time to try again!
This commit flags the `#[thread_local]` attribute as being available for Windows
targets and adds an implementation of `register_dtor` in the `thread::local`
module to ensure we can destroy these keys. The same functionality is
implemented in clang via a function called `__tlregdtor` (presumably provided in
some Windows runtime somewhere), but this function unfortunately does not take a
data pointer (just a thunk) which means we can't easily call it. For now
destructors are just run in the same way the Linux fallback is implemented,
which is just keeping track via a single OS-based TLS key.

Replaced by adding extra imports, adding hidden code (`# ...`), modifying
examples to be runnable (sorry Homura), specifying non-Rust code, and
converting to should_panic, no_run, or compile_fail.
Remaining "```ignore"s received an explanation why they are being ignored.
Gecko recently had a bug reported [1] with a deadlock in the Rust TLS
implementation for Windows. TLS destructors are implemented in a sort of ad-hoc
fashion on Windows as it doesn't natively support destructors for TLS keys. To
work around this the runtime manages a list of TLS destructors and registers a
hook to get run whenever a thread exits. When a thread exits it takes a look at
the list and runs all destructors.
Unfortunately it turns out that there's a lock which is held when our "at thread
exit" callback is run. The callback then attempts to acquire a lock protecting
the list of TLS destructors. Elsewhere in the codebase while we hold a lock over
the TLS destructors we try to acquire the same lock held first before our
special callback is run. And as a result, deadlock!
This commit sidesteps the issue with a few small refactorings:
* Removed support for destroying a TLS key on Windows. We don't actually ever
exercise this as a public-facing API, and it's only used during `lazy_init`
during racy situations. To handle that we just synchronize `lazy_init`
globally on Windows so we never have to call `destroy`.
* With no need to support removal the global synchronized `Vec` was tranformed
to a lock-free linked list. With the removal of locks this means that
iteration no long requires a lock and as such we won't run into the deadlock
problem mentioned above.
Note that it's still a general problem that you have to be extra super careful
in TLS destructors. For example no code which runs a TLS destructor on Windows
can call back into the Windows API to do a dynamic library lookup. Unfortunately
I don't know of a great way around that, but this at least fixes the immediate
problem that Gecko was seeing which is that with "well behaved" destructors the
system would still deadlock!
