Add perma-unstable `--print=backend-has-zstd` for use by compiletest Tests for `-Zdebuginfo-compression=zstd` need to be skipped if LLVM was built without support for zstd compression. Currently, compiletest relies on messy and fragile heuristics to detect whether the compiler's LLVM was built with zstd support. But the compiler itself already knows whether LLVM has zstd or not, so it's easier for compiletest to just ask the compiler. --- Originally I was intending for this to be a `--print=debuginfo-compression` flag that would print out a list of values supported by `-Zdebuginfo-compression=`. I got that working locally, but it was more complex than I was happy with (in both rustc and compiletest), so I decided to cut scope and instead add a very narrow perma-unstable print request instead. There is always a circularity hazard whenever we ask the compiler-under-test for information about how to test it. But in this case, the underlying compiler code is fairly simple, whereas the previous heuristics were inherently messy and unreliable anyway. |

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.
