`fn resolve_legacy_scope` can now resolve only to `macro_rules!` items,
`fn resolve_lexical_macro_path_segment` is for everything else - modularized macros, preludes
Currently in the `wasm-bindgen` project we have a very very large crate that's
procedurally generated, `web-sys`. To generate this crate we parse all of a
browser's WebIDL and we then generate bindings for all of the APIs contained
within.
The resulting Rust file is 18MB large (wow!) and currently takes a very long
time to compile in debug mode. On the nightly compiler a *debug* build takes 90s
for the crate to finish. I was curious what was taking so long and upon
investigating a *massive* portion of the time was spent in the `lit_token`
method of the compiler, primarily formatting strings via `format!`.
Upon some more investigation it looks like the `byte_str_lit` was allocating an
error message once per byte, causing a very large number of allocations to
happen for large literals, of which wasm-bindgen generates quite a few (some are
MB large).
This commit fixes the issue by lazily allocating the error message, only doing
so if the error message is actually needed (which should be never). As a result,
the debug mode compilation time for our `web-sys` crate decreased from 90s to
20s, a very nice improvement! (although we've still got some work to do).

r? @eddyb, but there are a few things I have yet to clean up. Making the PR now to more easily see when things break.

Add the identity function as core::convert::identity
## New notes
This implements rust-lang/rfcs#2306 (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/53500).
## Old notes (ignore this in new reviews)
Adds the identity function `fn id<T>(x: T) -> T { x }` to core::convert and the prelude.
Some motivations for why this is useful are explained in the doc tests.
Another is that using the identity function instead of `{ x }` or `|x| x` makes it clear that you intended to use an identity conversion on purpose.
The reasoning:
+ behind adding this to `convert` and not `mem` is that this is an identity *conversion*.
+ for adding this to the prelude is that it should be easy enough to use that the ease of writing your own identity function or using a closure `|x| x` doesn't overtake that.
I've separated this out into two feature gates so that the addition to the prelude can be considered and stabilized separately.

In some profiling on OSX I saw the `write` syscall as quite high up on
the profiling graph, which is definitely not good! It looks like we're
setting the output stream of an object file as directly to a file
descriptor which means that we run the risk of doing lots of little
writes rather than a few large writes.
This commit fixes this issue by adding a buffered stream on the output,
causing the `write` syscall to disappear from the profiles on OSX.
try to infer linker flavor from linker name and vice versa
This is a second take on PR #50359 that implements the logic proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/50359#pullrequestreview-116663121
With this change it would become possible to link `thumb*` binaries using GNU's LD on stable as `-C linker=arm-none-eabi-ld` would be enough to change both the linker and the linker flavor from their default values of `arm-none-eabi-gcc` and `gcc`.
To link `thumb*` binaries using rustc's LLD on stable `-Z linker-flavor` would need to be stabilized as `-C linker=rust-lld -Z linker-flavor=ld.lld` are both required to change the linker and the linker flavor, but this PR doesn't propose that. We would probably need some sort of stability guarantee around `rust-lld`'s name and availability to make linking with rustc's LLD truly stable.
With this change it would also be possible to link `thumb*` binaries using a system installed LLD on stable using the `-C linker=ld.lld` flag (provided that `ld.lld` is a symlink to the system installed LLD).

52985: cause cycle err on inf trait normalization
Issue: #52985
- If an existential type is defined, but no user code infers the
concrete type behind the existential type, normalization would
infinitely recurse on this existential type which is only defined in
terms of itself.
- Instead of raising an inf recurse error, we cause a cycle error to
help highlight that the issue is that the type is only defined in terms
of itself.
- Three known potential improvements:
- If type folding itself was exposed as a query, used by
normalization and other mechanisms, cases that would cause infinite recursion would
automatically cause a cycle error.
- The span for the cycle error should be improved to point to user
code that fails to allow inference of the concrete type of the existential type,
assuming that this error occurs because no user code can allow inference the
concrete type.
- A mechanism to extend the cycle error with a helpful note would be nice. Currently,
the error is built and maintained by src/librustc/ty/query/plumbing,
with no known way to extend the information that the error gets built
with.
