rustc: implement argsfiles for command line
Many tools, such as gcc and gnu-ld, support "args files" - that is, being able to specify @file on the command line. This causes `file` to be opened and parsed for command line options. They're separated with whitespace; whitespace can be quoted with double or single quotes, and everything can be \\-escaped. Args files may recursively include other args files via `@file2`.
See https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#Options for the documentation of gnu-ld's @file parameters.
This is useful for very large command lines, or when command lines are being generated into files by other tooling.
This makes `rustc` support `@path` arguments on the command line. The `path` is opened and the file is interpreted
as new command line options which are logically inserted at that point in the command-line. The options in the file
are one per line. The file is UTF-8 encoded, and may have either Unix or Windows line endings.
It does not support recursive use of `@path`.
This is useful for very large command lines, or when command-lines are being generated into files by other tooling.
rustc: Stabilize options for pipelined compilation
This commit stabilizes options in the compiler necessary for Cargo to
enable "pipelined compilation" by default. The concept of pipelined
compilation, how it's implemented, and what it means for rustc are
documented in #60988. This PR is coupled with a PR against Cargo
(rust-lang/cargo#7143) which updates Cargo's support for pipelined
compliation to rustc, and also enables support by default in Cargo.
(note that the Cargo PR cannot land until this one against rustc lands).
The technical changes performed here were to stabilize the functionality
proposed in #60419 and #60987, the underlying pieces to enable pipelined
compilation support in Cargo. The issues have had some discussion during
stabilization, but the newly stabilized surface area here is:
* A new `--json` flag was added to the compiler.
* The `--json` flag can be passed multiple times.
* The value of the `--json` flag is a comma-separated list of
directives.
* The `--json` flag cannot be combined with `--color`
* The `--json` flag must be combined with `--error-format=json`
* The acceptable list of directives to `--json` are:
* `diagnostic-short` - the `rendered` field of diagnostics will have a
"short" rendering matching `--error-format=short`
* `diagnostic-rendered-ansi` - the `rendered` field of diagnostics
will be colorized with ansi color codes embedded in the string field
* `artifacts` - JSON blobs will be emitted for artifacts being emitted
by the compiler
The unstable `-Z emit-artifact-notifications` and `--json-rendered`
flags have also been removed during this commit as well.

cleanup: Remove some language features related to built-in macros
They are now library features.
Cleanup after https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/62086.
The unstable book files are moved because tidy complained.

Use variant names rather than descriptions for identifying desugarings in `#[rustc_on_unimplemented]`.
Both are highly unstable, but variant name is at least a single identifier.
Add key and value methods to DebugMap
Implementation PR for an active (not approved) RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2696.
Add two new methods to `std::fmt::DebugMap` for writing the key and value part of a map entry separately:
```rust
impl<'a, 'b: 'a> DebugMap<'a, 'b> {
pub fn key(&mut self, key: &dyn Debug) -> &mut Self;
pub fn value(&mut self, value: &dyn Debug) -> &mut Self;
}
```
I want to do this so that I can write a `serde::Serializer` that forwards to our format builders, so that any `T: Serialize` can also be treated like a `T: Debug`.
generalize impl trait to permit multiple lifetime bounds
Generalizes the region solver to support "pick constraints". These have the form:
```
pick R0 from [R1..Rn]
```
where `R1..Rn` are called the "option regions". The idea is that `R0` must be equal to *some* region in the set `R1..Rn`. These constraints are then used to handle cases like this:
```rust
fn foo<'a, 'b>(...) -> impl Trait<'a, 'b> { .. }
```
The problem here is that every region R in the hidden type must be equal to *either* `'a` *or* `'b` (or `'static`) -- in the past, the only kinds of constraints we had were outlives constraints, and since `'a` and `'b` are unrelated, there was no outlives constraint we could issue that would enforce that (`R: 'a` and `R: 'b` are both too strict, for example). But now we can issue a pick constraint: `pick R from ['a, 'b]`.
In general, solving pick constraints is tricky. We integrate them into the solver as follows. In general, during the propagation phase, we are monotonically growing a set of inference regions. To handle a case like `pick R from [O...]`, where `O...` represents the option regions, we do the following:
- Look for all the *lower bounds* of the region R -- that is, every region LB such that `R: LB` must hold.
- Look for all the *upper bounds* of the region R -- that is, every region UB such that `UB: R` must hold.
- Let the *viable options* be each option region O such that `UB: O` and `O: LB` for each UB, LB bound.
- Find the *minimal viable option* M, where `O: M` holds for every option region O.
If there is such a *minimal viable option*, then we make `R: M`. (This may in turn influence other bits of inference.) If there is no minimal viable option, either because all options were eliminated or because none of the remaining options are minimal, we do nothing. Ultimately, if the pick constraint is not satisfied, an error is reported.
For this logic, we currently require that the option regions O are always lifetime parameters. To determine the bounds, we walk the various outlives edges that were otherwise introduced.

Stabilize support for Profile-guided Optimization
This PR makes profile-guided optimization available via the `-C profile-generate` / `-C profile-use` pair of commandline flags and adds end-user documentation for the feature to the [rustc book](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/). The PR thus ticks the last two remaining checkboxes of the [stabilization tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/59913).
From the tracking issue:
> Profile-guided optimization (PGO) is a common optimization technique for ahead-of-time compilers. It works by collecting data about a program's typical execution (e.g. probability of branches taken, typical runtime values of variables, etc) and then uses this information during program optimization for things like inlining decisions, machine code layout, or indirect call promotion.
If you are curious about how this can be used, there is a rendered version of the documentation this PR adds available [here](
https://github.com/michaelwoerister/rust/blob/stabilize-pgo/src/doc/rustc/src/profile-guided-optimization.md).

Stabilize `type_alias_enum_variants` in Rust 1.37.0
Stabilize `#![feature(type_alias_enum_variants)]` which allows type-relative resolution with highest priority to `enum` variants in both expression and pattern contexts. For example, you may now write:
```rust
enum Option<T> {
None,
Some(T),
}
type OptAlias<T> = Option<T>;
fn work_on_alias(x: Option<u8>) -> u8 {
match x {
OptAlias::Some(y) => y + 1,
OptAlias::None => 0,
}
}
```
