Add AArch64 big-endian and ILP32 targets
This PR adds 3 new AArch64 targets:
- `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu`
- `aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32`
- `aarch64_be-unknown-linux-gnu_ilp32`
It also fixes some ABI issues on big-endian ARM and AArch64.
This commit adds a new stable codegen option to rustc,
`-Csplit-debuginfo`. The old `-Zrun-dsymutil` flag is deleted and now
subsumed by this stable flag. Additionally `-Zsplit-dwarf` is also
subsumed by this flag but still requires `-Zunstable-options` to
actually activate. The `-Csplit-debuginfo` flag takes one of
three values:
* `off` - This indicates that split-debuginfo from the final artifact is
not desired. This is not supported on Windows and is the default on
Unix platforms except macOS. On macOS this means that `dsymutil` is
not executed.
* `packed` - This means that debuginfo is desired in one location
separate from the main executable. This is the default on Windows
(`*.pdb`) and macOS (`*.dSYM`). On other Unix platforms this subsumes
`-Zsplit-dwarf=single` and produces a `*.dwp` file.
* `unpacked` - This means that debuginfo will be roughly equivalent to
object files, meaning that it's throughout the build directory
rather than in one location (often the fastest for local development).
This is not the default on any platform and is not supported on Windows.
Each target can indicate its own default preference for how debuginfo is
handled. Almost all platforms default to `off` except for Windows and
macOS which default to `packed` for historical reasons.
Some equivalencies for previous unstable flags with the new flags are:
* `-Zrun-dsymutil=yes` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`
* `-Zrun-dsymutil=no` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`
* `-Zsplit-dwarf=single` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=packed`
* `-Zsplit-dwarf=split` -> `-Csplit-debuginfo=unpacked`
Note that `-Csplit-debuginfo` still requires `-Zunstable-options` for
non-macOS platforms since split-dwarf support was *just* implemented in
rustc.
There's some more rationale listed on #79361, but the main gist of the
motivation for this commit is that `dsymutil` can take quite a long time
to execute in debug builds and provides little benefit. This means that
incremental compile times appear that much worse on macOS because the
compiler is constantly running `dsymutil` over every single binary it
produces during `cargo build` (even build scripts!). Ideally rustc would
switch to not running `dsymutil` by default, but that's a problem left
to get tackled another day.
Closes#79361
Add links to the source for the rustc and rustdoc books.
This adds a little icon in the upper-right corner of the books so that readers can find the source if they want to make changes or file issues. This is already included in several of the other books.
Update with status for various NetBSD ports.
The NetBSD ports of rust to aarch64, armv7*, i686, and powerpc**
all both build and run. Status is as of rust 1.47.0.
*) Natively requires repeated successive build attempts (`rustc` is
such a resource pig VM-consumption-wise), or run in a chroot
on an aarch64 host where the available VM space is 4GB instead
of the native 2GB.
**) Powerpc either requires `-latomic` in a directory searched by
default by `ld` or to be built within pkgsrc which has a patch and
support package to tackle this issue.

Add exploit mitigations chapter to the rustc book
This section documents the exploit mitigations applicable to the Rust compiler when building programs for the Linux operating system on the AMD64 architecture and equivalent. This was done for a project I'm currently working on, and I hope it'll also be helpful to others.

Demote i686-unknown-freebsd to tier 2 compiler target
While technically the `i686-unknown-freebsd` target has been a tier 2 development platform for a long time, with full toolchain tarballs available on static.rust-lang.org, due to a bug in the manifest generation the target was never available for download through rustup.
The infrastructure team privately inquired the FreeBSD package maintainers, and they weren't relying on those tarballs either, so it's a fair assumption to say practically nobody is using those tarballs.
This PR then removes the CI builder that produces full tarballs for the target, and moves the compilation of `rust-std` for the target in `dist-various-2`. The `x86_64-unknown-freebsd` target is *not* affected.

Promote aarch64-pc-windows-msvc to Tier 2 Development Platform
Adds a GitHub Actions CI build for `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` via cross-compilation on an x86_64 host.
This promotes `aarch64-pc-windows-msvc` from a Tier 2 Compilation Target (std) to a Tier 2 Development Platform (std+rustc+cargo+tools).
Fixes#72881

Add aarch64-unknown-linux-musl host builds
This adds aarch64-unknown-linux-musl to the hosts list and adds the build to the dist-arm-linux builder as `@Mark-Simulacrum` suggested to me in Zulip. `@jyn514` requested to be mentioned 😄
I had to update the config for crosstool-ng as it had a prompt about the glibc version.
I ran `src/ci/docker/run.sh dist-arm-linux` to test it.

Only errors were in miri due to struct fields being private (already been reported [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/76337))
Edit: Maybe it is helpful if I add that it is a working compiler

The current description of the trivial casts lint under the "allowed
by default" listing in the rustc book indicates the lint is for lints
which may be removed, which is less clear than saying it's for lints
which may be replaced by coercion (which is the wording used by the
error message included in the doc).
This commit changes the wording slightly to better describe what the
lint does.
A few updates:
- Some minor wording and formatting changes.
- Remove the `cargo` column.
- Explain the columns up-front.
- Add no-wrap on the target-triple, which looks better to me.
- Minor mention on how to install support for a built-in target via rustup.
