7171bd1f69 README: Mention MSVC 2017+, not 2013(!)
LLVM will soon require 2017+ [1] (and our in-tree version just rejected the version of 2015 I was using), so update the mention and provide a link.

d69b24805b rust: Import LLD for linking wasm objects
This commit imports the LLD project from LLVM to serve as the default linker for
the `wasm32-unknown-unknown` target. The `binaryen` submoule is consequently
removed along with "binaryen linker" support in rustc.

Moving to LLD brings with it a number of benefits for wasm code:

* LLD is itself an actual linker, so there's no need to compile all wasm code
  with LTO any more. As a result builds should be *much* speedier as LTO is no
  longer forcibly enabled for all builds of the wasm target.
* LLD is quickly becoming an "official solution" for linking wasm code together.
  This, I believe at least, is intended to be the main supported linker for
  native code and wasm moving forward. Picking up support early on should help
  ensure that we can help LLD identify bugs and otherwise prove that it works
  great for all our use cases!
* Improvements to the wasm toolchain are currently primarily focused around LLVM
  and LLD (from what I can tell at least), so it's in general much better to be
  on this bandwagon for bugfixes and new features.
* Historical "hacks" like `wasm-gc` will soon no longer be necessary, LLD
  will [natively implement][gc] `--gc-sections` (better than `wasm-gc`!) which
  means a postprocessor is no longer needed to show off Rust's "small wasm
  binary size".

LLD is added in a pretty standard way to rustc right now. A new rustbuild target
was defined for building LLD, and this is executed when a compiler's sysroot is
being assembled. LLD is compiled against the LLVM that we've got in tree, which
means we're currently on the `release_60` branch, but this may get upgraded in
the near future!

LLD is placed into rustc's sysroot in a `bin` directory. This is similar to
where `gcc.exe` can be found on Windows. This directory is automatically added
to `PATH` whenever rustc executes the linker, allowing us to define a `WasmLd`
linker which implements the interface that `wasm-ld`, LLD's frontend, expects.

Like Emscripten the LLD target is currently only enabled for Tier 1 platforms,
notably OSX/Windows/Linux, and will need to be installed manually for compiling
to wasm on other platforms. LLD is by default turned off in rustbuild, and
requires a `config.toml` option to be enabled to turn it on.

Finally the unstable `#![wasm_import_memory]` attribute was also removed as LLD
has a native option for controlling this.

0e272de69f mk: Switch rustbuild to the default build system
This commit switches the default build system for Rust from the makefiles to
rustbuild. The rustbuild build system has been in development for almost a year
now and has become quite mature over time. This commit is an implementation of
the proposal on [internals] which slates deletion of the makefiles on
2016-01-02.

[internals]: https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/proposal-for-promoting-rustbuild-to-official-status/4368

This commit also updates various documentation in `README.md`,
`CONTRIBUTING.md`, `src/bootstrap/README.md`, and throughout the source code of
rustbuild itself.

Closes #37858

a270b8014c rustbuild: Rewrite user-facing interface
This commit is a rewrite of the user-facing interface to the rustbuild build
system. The intention here is to make it much easier to compile/test the project
without having to remember weird rule names and such. An overall view of the new
interface is:

    # build everything
    ./x.py build

    # document everyting
    ./x.py doc

    # test everything
    ./x.py test

    # test libstd
    ./x.py test src/libstd

    # build libcore stage0
    ./x.py build src/libcore --stage 0

    # run stage1 run-pass tests
    ./x.py test src/test/run-pass --stage 1

The `src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py` script is now aliased as a top-level `x.py`
script. This `x` was chosen to be both short and easily tab-completable (no
collisions in that namespace!). The build system now accepts a "subcommand" of
what to do next, the main ones being build/doc/test.

Each subcommand then receives an optional list of arguments. These arguments are
paths in the source repo of what to work with. That is, if you want to test a
directory, you just pass that directory as an argument.

The purpose of this rewrite is to do away with all of the arcane renames like
"rpass" is the "run-pass" suite, "cfail" is the "compile-fail" suite, etc. By
simply working with directories and files it's much more intuitive of how to run
a test (just pass it as an argument).

The rustbuild step/dependency management was also rewritten along the way to
make this easy to work with and define, but that's largely just a refactoring of
what was there before.

The *intention* is that this support is extended for arbitrary files (e.g.
`src/test/run-pass/my-test-case.rs`), but that isn't quite implemented just yet.
Instead directories work for now but we can follow up with stricter path
filtering logic to plumb through all the arguments.

cb74a5874f configure: Check for valid Python on MinGW as well
The LLVM build system is somewhat picky about which Python is used to build it
as it's known to be incompatible with the default `python2` package that ships
with MinGW. This was previously detected for MSVC builds but the logic was left
out for MinGW by accident (now that we've switched to cmake builds for LLVM
everywhere).

This corrects the `./configure` check and also updates the `README.md`
accordingly. Additionally, a number of instructions were updated to work with
the most recent copy of MSYS2.

Closes #34489
