Rollup merge of #74374 - cuviper:lto-bitcode-1.45, r=Mark-Simulacrum

Add a 1.45 release note on lto vs. embed-bitcode

I added a bullet for Cargo's use of `embed-bitcode`, since that was even noteworthy enough for the Inside Rust blog. Then more importantly, I added a compatibility note for how this may interact poorly with manually enabling LTO.

- [Rustdoc's CLI's extra error exit codes have been removed.][71900] These were
previously undocumented and not intended for public use. Rustdoc still provides
a non-zero exit code on errors.
- [Rustc's `lto` flag is incompatible with the new `embed-bitcode=no`.][71848]
This may cause issues if LTO is enabled through `RUSTFLAGS` or `cargo rustc`
flags while cargo is adding `embed-bitcode` itself. The recommended way to
control LTO is with Cargo profiles, either in `Cargo.toml` or `.cargo/config`,
or by setting `CARGO_PROFILE_<name>_LTO` in the environment.
