rustc: implement argsfiles for command line Many tools, such as gcc and gnu-ld, support "args files" - that is, being able to specify @file on the command line. This causes `file` to be opened and parsed for command line options. They're separated with whitespace; whitespace can be quoted with double or single quotes, and everything can be \\-escaped. Args files may recursively include other args files via `@file2`. See https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/ld/Options.html#Options for the documentation of gnu-ld's @file parameters. This is useful for very large command lines, or when command lines are being generated into files by other tooling. |

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 guide.
