Rollup merge of #152132 - folkertdev:carryless-mul, r=Mark-Simulacrum
implement `carryless_mul`

tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/152080
ACP: https://github.com/rust-lang/libs-team/issues/738

This defers to LLVM's `llvm.clmul` when available, and otherwise falls back to a method from the `polyval` crate ([link](https://github.com/RustCrypto/universal-hashes/blob/master/polyval/src/field_element/soft/soft64.rs)).

Some things are missing, which I think we can defer:

- the ACP has some discussion about additional methods, but I'm not sure exactly what is wanted or how to implement it efficiently
- the SIMD intrinsic is not yet `const` (I think I ran into a bootstrapping issue). That is fine for now, I think in `stdarch` we can't really use this intrinsic at the moment, we'd only want the scalar version to replace some riscv intrinsics.
- the SIMD intrinsic is not implemented for the gcc and cranelift backends. That should be reasonably straightforward once we have a const eval implementation though.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
