This commit tweaks the linker-level visibility of some lang items that rustc
uses and defines. Notably this means that `#[panic_implementation]` and
`#[alloc_error_handler]` functions are never marked as `internal`. It's up to
the linker to eliminate these, not rustc.
Additionally `#[global_allocator]` generated symbols are no longer forced to
`Default` visibility (fully exported), but rather they're relaxed to `Hidden`
visibility). This symbols are *not* needed across DLL boundaries, only as a
local implementation detail of the compiler-injected allocator symbols, so
`Hidden` should suffice.

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 guide.
