Add new #[target_feature = "..."] attribute.
This commit adds a new attribute that instructs the compiler to emit
target specific code for a single function. For example, the following
function is permitted to use instructions that are part of SSE 4.2:
#[target_feature = "+sse4.2"]
fn foo() { ... }
In particular, use of this attribute does not require setting the
-C target-feature or -C target-cpu options on rustc.
This attribute does not have any protections built into it. For example,
nothing stops one from calling the above `foo` function on hosts without
SSE 4.2 support. Doing so may result in a SIGILL.
I've also expanded the x86 target feature whitelist.
In LLVM 4.0, this enum becomes an actual type-safe enum, which breaks
all of the interfaces. Introduce our own copy of the bitflags that we
can then safely convert to the LLVM one.
[LLVM 4.0] Don't assume llvm::StringRef is null terminated
StringRefs have a length and their contents are not usually null-terminated. The solution is to either copy the string data (in `rustc_llvm::diagnostic`) or take the size into account (in LLVMRustPrintPasses).
I couldn't trigger a bug caused by this (apparently all the strings returned in practice are actually null-terminated) but this is more correct and more future-proof.

This commit also expands the target feature whitelist to include lzcnt,
popcnt and sse4a. Namely, lzcnt and popcnt have their own CPUID bits,
but were introduced with SSE4.

[LLVM 4.0] Use llvm::Attribute APIs instead of "raw value" APIs
The latter will be removed in LLVM 4.0 (see 4a6fc8bacf).
The librustc_llvm API remains mostly unchanged, except that llvm::Attribute is no longer a bitflag but represents only a *single* attribute.
The ability to store many attributes in a small number of bits and modify them without interacting with LLVM is only used in rustc_trans::abi and closely related modules, and only attributes for function arguments are considered there.
Thus rustc_trans::abi now has its own bit-packed representation of argument attributes, which are translated to rustc_llvm::Attribute when applying the attributes.

rustbuild: allow dynamically linking LLVM
The makefiles and `mklldeps.py` called `llvm-config --shared-mode` to
find out if LLVM defaulted to shared or static libraries, and just went
with that. But under rustbuild, `librustc_llvm/build.rs` was assuming
that LLVM should be static, and even forcing `--link-static` for 3.9+.
Now that build script also uses `--shared-mode` to learn the default,
which should work better for pre-3.9 configured for dynamic linking, as
it wasn't possible back then to choose differently via `llvm-config`.
Further, the configure script now has a new `--enable-llvm-link-shared`
option, which allows one to manually override `--link-shared` on 3.9+
instead of forcing static.
Update: There are now four static/shared scenarios that can happen
for the supported LLVM versions:
- 3.9+: By default use `llvm-config --link-static`
- 3.9+ and `--enable-llvm-link-shared`: Use `--link-shared` instead.
- 3.8: Use `llvm-config --shared-mode` and go with its answer.
- 3.7: Just assume static, maintaining the status quo.

to actually use the AAPCS calling convention
closes#37810
This is technically a [breaking-change] because it changes the ABI of
`extern "aapcs"` functions that (a) involve `f32`/`f64` arguments/return
values and (b) are compiled for arm-eabihf targets from
"aapcs-vfp" (wrong) to "aapcs" (correct).
Appendix:
What these ABIs mean?
- In the "aapcs-vfp" ABI or "hard float" calling convention: Floating
point values are passed/returned through FPU registers (s0, s1, d0, etc.)
- Whereas, in the "aapcs" ABI or "soft float" calling convention:
Floating point values are passed/returned through general purpose
registers (r0, r1, etc.)
Mixing these ABIs can cause problems if the caller assumes that the
routine is using one of these ABIs but it's actually using the other
one.
rustc: Flag all builtins functions as hidden
When compiling compiler-rt you typically compile with `-fvisibility=hidden`
which to ensure that all symbols are hidden in shared objects and don't show up
in symbol tables. This is important for these intrinsics being linked in every
crate to ensure that we're not unnecessarily bloating the public ABI of Rust
crates.
This should help allow the compiler-builtins project with Rust-defined builtins
start landing in-tree as well.

The `Linkage` enum in librustc_llvm got out of sync with the version in LLVM and it caused two variants of the #[linkage=""] attribute to break.
This adds the functions `LLVMRustGetLinkage` and `LLVMRustSetLinkage` which convert between the Rust Linkage enum and the LLVM one, which should stop this from breaking every time LLVM changes it.
Fixes#33992
A new target, `s390x-unknown-linux-gnu`, has been added to the compiler
and can be used to build no_core/no_std Rust programs.
Known limitations:
- librustc_trans/cabi_s390x.rs is missing. This means no support for
`extern "C" fn`.
- No support for this arch in libc. This means std can be cross compiled
for this target.
Macro expansions produce code tagged with debug locations that are completely different from the surrounding expressions. This wrecks havoc on debugger's ability the step over source lines.
In order to have a good line stepping behavior in debugger, we overwrite debug locations of macro expansions with that of the outermost expansion site.
LLVM upgrade
As discussed in https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/need-help-with-emscripten-port/3154/46 I'm trying to update the used LLVM checkout in Rust.
I basically took @shepmaster's code and applied it on top (though I did the commits manually, the [original commits have better descriptions](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/compare/master...avr-rust:avr-support).
With these changes I was able to build rustc. `make check` throws one last error on `run-pass/issue-28950.rs`. Output: https://gist.github.com/badboy/bcdd3bbde260860b6159aa49070a9052
I took the metadata changes as is and they seem to work, though it now uses the module in another step. I'm not sure if this is the best and correct way.
Things to do:
* [x] ~~Make `run-pass/issue-28950.rs` pass~~ unrelated
* [x] Find out how the `PositionIndependentExecutable` setting is now used
* [x] Is the `llvm::legacy` still the right way to do these things?
