Stabilize `linker-flavor` flag.
Part of #55396.
This commit moves the linker-flavor flag from a debugging option to a
codegen option, thus stabilizing it. There are no feature flags
associated with this flag.

This is going to be required for binding a number of AVX-512 intrinsics
in the `stdsimd` repository, and this intrinsic is the same as
`simd_select` except that it takes a bitmask as the first argument
instead of a SIMD vector. This bitmask is then transmuted into a `<NN x
i8>` argument, depending on how many bits it is.

Enum layout optimizations mean that the discriminant of an enum may not
be stored in a tag disjoint from the rest of the fields of the enum.

Ever since we added a Cargo-based build system for the compiler the
standard library has always been a little special, it's never been able
to depend on crates.io crates for runtime dependencies. This has been a
result of various limitations, namely that Cargo doesn't understand that
crates from crates.io depend on libcore, so Cargo tries to build crates
before libcore is finished.
I had an idea this afternoon, however, which lifts the strategy
from #52919 to directly depend on crates.io crates from the standard
library. After all is said and done this removes a whopping three
submodules that we need to manage!
The basic idea here is that for any crate `std` depends on it adds an
*optional* dependency on an empty crate on crates.io, in this case named
`rustc-std-workspace-core`. This crate is overridden via `[patch]` in
this repository to point to a local crate we write, and *that* has a
`path` dependency on libcore.
Note that all `no_std` crates also depend on `compiler_builtins`, but if
we're not using submodules we can publish `compiler_builtins` to
crates.io and all crates can depend on it anyway! The basic strategy
then looks like:
* The standard library (or some transitive dep) decides to depend on a
crate `foo`.
* The standard library adds
```toml
[dependencies]
foo = { version = "0.1", features = ['rustc-dep-of-std'] }
```
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `rustc-std-workspace-core`
* The crate `foo` has an optional dependency on `compiler_builtins`
* The crate `foo` has a feature `rustc-dep-of-std` which activates these
crates and any other necessary infrastructure in the crate.
A sample commit for `dlmalloc` [turns out to be quite simple][commit].
After that all `no_std` crates should largely build "as is" and still be
publishable on crates.io! Notably they should be able to continue to use
stable Rust if necessary, since the `rename-dependency` feature of Cargo
is soon stabilizing.
As a proof of concept, this commit removes the `dlmalloc`,
`libcompiler_builtins`, and `libc` submodules from this repository. Long
thorns in our side these are now gone for good and we can directly
depend on crates.io! It's hoped that in the long term we can bring in
other crates as necessary, but for now this is largely intended to
simply make it easier to manage these crates and remove submodules.
This should be a transparent non-breaking change for all users, but one
possible stickler is that this almost for sure breaks out-of-tree
`std`-building tools like `xargo` and `cargo-xbuild`. I think it should
be relatively easy to get them working, however, as all that's needed is
an entry in the `[patch]` section used to build the standard library.
Hopefully we can work with these tools to solve this problem!

Add regression test for ICE
Fixes#55846 with a minimal (or as best as I can manage) test case. I tested this against 1.30.0 manually to confirm it crashes.
The issue seemed to have something to do with associated types. It's possible someone with more knowledge can shrink the test case down further, or make it clearer.
resolve: Reduce some clutter in import ambiguity errors
Noticed in https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/a3pyrw/announcing_rust_131_and_rust_2018/eb8alhi/.
The first error is distracting, but unnecessary, it's a *consequence* of the ambiguity error and appears because one of the ambiguous `actix` modules (unsurprisingly) doesn't have the expected name in it.
This commit puts a fix in place for the ICE in region naming code so
that it doesn't break the compiler. However, this results in the
diagnostic being poorer as the borrow explanation that was causing the
ICE is not being added - this should be fixed as a follow-up.
