It's common to import dependencies from the sysroot via `extern crate`
rather than use an explicit cargo dependency, when it's necessary to use
the same dependency version as used by rustc itself. However, this is
dangerous for crates.io crates, since rustc may not pull in the
dependency on some targets, or may pull in multiple versions. In both
cases, the `extern crate` fails to resolve.
To address this, re-export all such dependencies from the appropriate
`rustc_*` crates, and use this alias from crates which would otherwise
need to use `extern crate`.
A lot of places had special handling just in case they would get an
allocator module even though most of these places could never get one or
would have a trivial implementation for the allocator module. Moving all
handling of the allocator module to a single place simplifies things a
fair bit.
Most uses of it either contain a fat or thin lto module. Only
WorkItem::LTO could contain both, but splitting that enum variant
doesn't complicate things much.
See llvm/llvm-project#121851
For LLVM 20+, this function (`renameModuleForThinLTO`) has no return
value. For prior versions of LLVM, this never failed, but had a
signature which allowed an error value people were handling.
