rustc: Implement the #[global_allocator] attribute
This PR is an implementation of [RFC 1974] which specifies a new method of
defining a global allocator for a program. This obsoletes the old
`#![allocator]` attribute and also removes support for it.
[RFC 1974]: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1974
The new `#[global_allocator]` attribute solves many issues encountered with the
`#![allocator]` attribute such as composition and restrictions on the crate
graph itself. The compiler now has much more control over the ABI of the
allocator and how it's implemented, allowing much more freedom in terms of how
this feature is implemented.

This change allows the user to add an `#[allow_fail]` attribute to
tests that will cause the test to compile & run, but if the test fails
it will not cause the entire test run to fail. The test output will
show the failure, but in yellow instead of red, and also indicate that
it was an allowed failure.
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.
Implement lazy loading of external crates' sources. Fixes#38875Fixes#38875. This is a follow-up to #42507. When a (now correctly translated) span from an external crate is referenced in a error, warning or info message, we still don't have the source code being referenced.
Since stuffing the source in the serialized metadata of an rlib is extremely wasteful, the following scheme has been implemented:
* File maps now contain a source hash that gets serialized as well.
* When a span is rendered in a message, the source hash in the corresponding file map(s) is used to try and load the source from the corresponding file on disk. If the file is not found or the hashes don't match, the failed attempt is recorded (and not retried).
* The machinery fetching source lines from file maps is augmented to use the lazily loaded external source as a secondary fallback for file maps belonging to external crates.
This required a small change to the expected stderr of one UI test (it now renders a span, where previously was none).
Further work can be done based on this - some of the machinery previously used to hide external spans is possibly obsolete and the hashing code can be reused in different places as well.

Remove struct_field_attributes feature gate
Part of #41681. ~This PR only removes the feature gate; this *does not* update any documentations.~ This PR removes the feature gate and the corresponding chapter of the Unstable Book.
I'm not very sure about the changes I made though... Just followed the stabilization guideline.

Position span label correctly when it isn't last
Fix#42595.
Before:
```
15 | map.entry("e").or_insert(0) += 1;
| ---------------------------^^^^^ot use `+=` on type `&mut {integer}`
```
After:
```
15 | map.entry("e").or_insert(0) += 1;
| ---------------------------^^^^^
| |
| cannot use `+=` on type `&mut {integer}`
```
Learn to parse `a as usize < b`
Parsing `a as usize > b` always works, but `a as usize < b` was a
parsing error because the parser would think the `<` started a generic
type argument for `usize`. The parser now attempts to parse as before,
and if a DiagnosticError is returned, try to parse again as a type with
no generic arguments. If this fails, return the original
`DiagnosticError`.
Fix#22644.
- generate error instead of warning
- remove `RewindPoint` and just keep a copy of `Parser` to rewind state.
- `dont_parse_generics: bool` -> `parse_generics: bool`
- remove `eat_lt`
- move error handling code to separate method
Build instruction profiler runtime as part of compiler-rt
r? @alexcrichton
This is #38608 with some fixes.
Still missing:
- [x] testing with profiler enabled on some builders (on which ones? Should I add the option to some of the already existing configurations, or create a new configuration?);
- [x] enabling distribution (on which builders?);
- [x] documentation.

* The lazy loading mechanism has been moved to a more appropriate place.
* Return values from the functions invoked there are properly used.
* Documentation has gotten some minor improvements.
* Possibly some larger restructuring will need to take place still.

We now fetch source lines from the `external_src` member as a secondary
fallback if no regular source is present, that is, if the file map
belongs to an external crate and the source has been fetched from disk.
They are now handled in their own member to prevent mutating access to
the `src` member. This way, we can safely load external sources, while
keeping the mutation of local source strings off-limits.
The rationale is that BOM stripping is needed for lazy source loading
for external crates, and duplication can be avoided by moving the
corresponding functionality to libsyntax_pos.
We can use these to perform lazy loading of source files belonging to
external crates. That way we will be able to show the source code of
external spans that have been translated.
