Remove i586-pc-windows-msvc
See [MCP 840](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/840).
I left a specialized error message that should help users that hit this in the wild (for example, because they use it in their CI).
```
error: Error loading target specification: the `i586-pc-windows-msvc` target has been removed. Use the `i686-pc-windows-msvc` target instead.
Windows 10 (the minimum required OS version) requires a CPU baseline of at least i686 so you can safely switch. Run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of built-in targets
```
``@workingjubilee`` ``@calebzulawski`` fyi portable-simd uses this target in CI, if you wanna remove it already before this happens
Add minimal platform support documentation for powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe
Per https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/137860#issuecomment-2692358259, add minimal platform support documentation, including a brief summary and links to more detailed information about this target.
The added documentation is minimal. This is somewhat similar to [powerpc-unknown-openbsd, which also has no target maintainer](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/rustc/platform-support/powerpc-unknown-openbsd.html). The rest of the template is left to target maintainers.
I also updated powerpc-unknown-linux-muslspe platform support documentation and added link to powerpc-unknown-linux-gnuspe platform support documentation.

Wasmtime's `--wasm-features` and `--wasi-modules` flags have been renamed
since these docs were initially written.
Additionally, from my testing I don't believe `--wasm threads` is needed if
`--wasi threads` is passed already.
Make x86 QNX target name consistent with other Rust targets
Rename target to be consistent with other Rust targets: Use `i686` instead of `i586`

Update docs for default features of wasm targets
LLVM 20 enabled the `nontrapping-fptoint` and `bulk-memory` features by default, so this updates the corresponding documentation for the `wasm32-*` targets (which all point to `wasm32-unknown-unknown`).
Closes#137315 with a doc update for the doc part.

This commit removes the `avr-unknown-gnu-atmega328` target and replaces
it with a more generic `avr-none` variant that must be specialized with
the `-C target-cpu` flag (e.g. `-C target-cpu=atmega328p`).
i686-linux-android: increase CPU baseline to Pentium 4 (without an actual change
As per ``@maurer's`` [comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/136495#issuecomment-2648743078), this shouldn't actually change anything since we anyway add a bunch of extensions that bump things up way beyond Pentium 4. But Pentium 4 is consistent with the other i686 targets and I don't know enough about the exact sequence of CPU generations to be confident with more than this. ;)
Add amdgpu target
Add amdgpu target to rustc and enable the LLVM target.
Fix compiling `core` with the amdgpu:
The amdgpu backend makes heavy use of different address spaces. This
leads to situations, where a pointer in one addrspace needs to be casted
to a pointer in a different addrspace. `bitcast` is invalid for this
case, `addrspacecast` needs to be used.
Fix compilation failures that created bitcasts for such cases by
creating pointer casts (which creates an `addrspacecast` under the hood)
instead.
MCP: https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/823
Tracking issue: #135024
Kinda related to the original amdgpu tracking issue #51575 (though that one has been closed for a while).
Improve documentation when adding a new target
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/133631#issuecomment-2607877936 shows that it can be a bit difficult process-wise to add a new target.
I've added a bit of text to the docs, suggesting that users add the target defintion/spec first, and later work on `std` support.
I also found that we have two places where we document how to add a new target. I've linked these for now, but they should probably be merged somehow in the future.
