Load all builtin targets at once instead of one by one in check-cfg
This PR adds a method on `rustc_target::Target` to load all the builtin targets at once, and then uses that method when constructing the `target_*` values in check-cfg instead of load loading each target one by one by their name, which requires a lookup and was more of a hack anyway.
This may give us some performance improvements as we won't need to do the lookup for the _currently_ 287 targets we have.
Add support for wasm exception handling to Emscripten target
This is a draft because we need some additional setting for the Emscripten target to select between the old exception handling and the new exception handling. I don't know how to add a setting like that, would appreciate advice from Rust folks. We could maybe choose to use the new exception handling if `Ctarget-feature=+exception-handling` is passed? I tried this but I get errors from llvm so I'm not doing it right.
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
mark some target features as 'forbidden' so they cannot be (un)set with -Ctarget-feature
The context for this is https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/116344: some target features change the way floats are passed between functions. Changing those target features is unsound as code compiled for the same target may now use different ABIs.
So this introduces a new concept of "forbidden" target features (on top of the existing "stable " and "unstable" categories), and makes it a hard error to (un)set such a target feature. For now, the x86 and ARM feature `soft-float` is on that list. We'll have to make some effort to collect more relevant features, and similar features from other targets, but that can happen after the basic infrastructure for this landed. (These features are being collected in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131799.)
I've made this a warning for now to give people some time to speak up if this would break something.

Depend on rustc_abi in compiler crates that use it indirectly but have
not yet taken on that dependency, and are not entangled in my other PRs.
This leaves an "excise rustc_target" step after the dust settles.
In the stabilization attempt of `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]`, a concern
was raised related to using a language attribute for the feature: Long
term, we want `fn lang_start()` to be definable by any crate, not just
libstd. Having a special language attribute in that case becomes
awkward.
So as a first step towards towards the next stabilization attempt, this
PR changes the `#[unix_sigpipe = "..."]` attribute to a compiler flag
`-Zon-broken-pipe=...` to remove that concern, since now the language
is not "contaminated" by this feature.
Another point was also raised, namely that the ui should not leak
**how** it does things, but rather what the **end effect** is. The new
flag uses the proposed naming. This is of course something that can be
iterated on further before stabilization.
Previously, the signal mask is always reset when a child process is
started. This breaks tools like `nohup` which expect `SIGHUP` to be
blocked.
With this change, the default behavior changes to inherit the signal mask.
This also changes the signal disposition for `SIGPIPE` to only be
changed if the `#[unix_sigpipe]` attribute isn't set.
This makes it possible to instruct libstd to never touch the signal
handler for `SIGPIPE`, which makes programs pipeable by default (e.g.
with `./your-program | head -n 1`) without `ErrorKind::BrokenPipe`
errors.
