This makes rustc simply return an exit code from main rather than calling `std::process::exit` with an exit code. This means that drops run normally and the process exits cleanly. Also instead of hard coding success and failure codes this uses `ExitCode::SUCCESS` and `ExitCode::FAILURE`, which in turn effectively uses `libc::EXIT_SUCCESS` and `libc::EXIT_FAILURE` (via std). These are `0` and `1` respectively for all currently supported host platforms so it doesn't actually change the exit code. |

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
