Change __rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable to be a function
This fixes a long sequence of issues:
1. A customer reported that building for Arm64EC was broken: #138541
2. This was caused by a bug in my original implementation of Arm64EC support, namely that only functions on Arm64EC need to be decorated with `#` but Rust was decorating statics as well.
3. Once I corrected Rust to only decorate functions, I started linking failures where the linker couldn't find statics exported by dylib dependencies. This was caused by the compiler not marking exported statics in the generated DEF file with `DATA`, thus they were being exported as functions not data.
4. Once I corrected the way that the DEF files were being emitted, the linker started failing saying that it couldn't find `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable`. This is because the MSVC linker requires the declarations of statics imported from other dylibs to be marked with `dllimport` (whereas it will happily link to functions imported from other dylibs whether they are marked `dllimport` or not).
5. I then made a change to ensure that `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` was marked as `dllimport`, but the MSVC linker started emitting warnings that `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` was marked as `dllimport` but was declared in an obj file. This is a harmless warning which is a performance hint: anything that's marked `dllimport` must be indirected via an `__imp` symbol so I added a linker arg in the target to suppress the warning.
6. A customer then reported a similar warning when using `lld-link` (<https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140176#issuecomment-2872448443>). I don't think it was an implementation difference between the two linkers but rather that, depending on the obj that the declaration versus uses of `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` landed in we would get different warnings, so I suppressed that warning as well: #140954.
7. Another customer reported that they weren't using the Rust compiler to invoke the linker, thus these warnings were breaking their build: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/140176#issuecomment-2881867433>. At that point, my original change was reverted (#141024) leaving Arm64EC broken yet again.
Taking a step back, a lot of these linker issues arise from the fact that `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` is marked as `extern "Rust"` in the standard library and, therefore, assumed to be a foreign item from a different crate BUT the Rust compiler may choose to generate it either in the current crate, some other crate that will be statically linked in OR some other crate that will by dynamically imported.
Worse yet, it is impossible while building a given crate to know if `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` will statically linked or dynamically imported: it might be that one of its dependent crates is the one with an allocator kind set and thus that crate (which is compiled later) will decide depending if it has any dylib dependencies or not to import `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` or generate it. Thus, there is no way to know if the declaration of `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` should be marked with `dllimport` or not.
There is a simple fix for all this: there is no reason `__rust_no_alloc_shim_is_unstable` must be a static. It needs to be some symbol that must be linked in; thus, it could easily be a function instead. As a function, there is no need to mark it as `dllimport` when dynamically imported which avoids the entire mess above.
There may be a perf hit for changing the `volatile load` to be a `tail call`, so I'm happy to change that part back (although I question what the codegen of a `volatile load` would look like, and if the backend is going to try to use load-acquire semantics).
Build with this change applied BEFORE #140176 was reverted to demonstrate that there are no linking issues with either MSVC or MinGW: <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/actions/runs/15078657205>
Incidentally, I fixed `tests/run-make/no-alloc-shim` to work with MSVC as I needed it to be able to test locally (FYI for #128602)

Use `LLVMIntrinsicGetDeclaration` to completely remove the hardcoded intrinsics list
Follow-up to rust-lang/rust#142259
This also needs a rustc-perf run, because `Intrinsic::getType` can be expensive

Move metadata object generation for dylibs to the linker code
This deduplicates some code between codegen backends and may in the future allow adding extra metadata that is only known at link time.

Simplify implementation of Rust intrinsics by using type parameters in the cache
The current implementation of intrinsics have a lot of duplication to handle different overloads of overloaded LLVM intrinsic. This PR uses the **base name and the type parameters** in the cache instead of the full, overloaded name. This has the benefit that `call_intrinsic` doesn't need to provide the full name, rather the type parameters (which is most of the time more available). This uses `LLVMIntrinsicCopyOverloadedName2` to get the overloaded name from the base name and the type parameters, and only uses it to declare the function.

add `extern "custom"` functions
tracking issue: rust-lang/rust#140829
previous discussion: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/140566
In short, an `extern "custom"` function is a function with a custom ABI, that rust does not know about. Therefore, such functions can only be defined with `#[unsafe(naked)]` and `naked_asm!`, or via an `extern "C" { /* ... */ }` block. These functions cannot be called using normal rust syntax: calling them can only be done from inline assembly.
The motivation is low-level scenarios where a custom calling convention is used. Currently, we often pick `extern "C"`, but that is a lie because the function does not actually respect the C calling convention.
At the moment `"custom"` seems to be the name with the most support. That name is not final, but we need to pick something to actually implement this.

retpoline and retpoline-external-thunk flags (target modifiers) to enable retpoline-related target features
`-Zretpoline` and `-Zretpoline-external-thunk` flags are target modifiers (tracked to be equal in linked crates).
* Enables target features for `-Zretpoline-external-thunk`:
`+retpoline-external-thunk`, `+retpoline-indirect-branches`, `+retpoline-indirect-calls`.
* Enables target features for `-Zretpoline`:
`+retpoline-indirect-branches`, `+retpoline-indirect-calls`.
It corresponds to clang -mretpoline & -mretpoline-external-thunk flags.
Also this PR forbids to specify those target features manually (warning).

store `target.min_global_align` as an `Align`
Parse the alignment properly when the target is defined/parsed, and error out on invalid alignment values. That means this work doesn't need to happen for every global in each backend.
#[used] currently is an alias for #[used(linker)] on all platforms
except ELF based ones where it is an alias for #[used(compiler)]. The
latter has surprising behavior and the LLVM LangRef explicitly states
that it "should only be used in rare circumstances, and should not be
exposed to source languages."
The reason #[used] still was an alias to #[used(compiler)] on ELF is
because the gold linker has issues with it. Luckily gold has been
deprecated with GCC 15 and seems to be unable to bootstrap rustc anyway.
As such we shouldn't really care about supporting gold.
Change `tag_field` to `FieldIdx` in `Variants::Multiple`
It was already available as a generic parameter anyway, and it's not like we'll ever put a tag in the 5-billionth field.
This is a first part of pulling smaller pieces out of rust-lang/rust#138759, so

Replace ad-hoc ABI "adjustments" with an `AbiMap` to `CanonAbi`
Our `conv_from_spec_abi`, `adjust_abi`, and `is_abi_supported` combine to give us a very confusing way of reasoning about what _actual_ calling convention we want to lower our code to and whether we want to compile the resulting code at all. Instead of leaving this code as a miniature adventure game in which someone tries to combine stateful mutations into a Rube Goldberg machine that will let them escape the maze and arrive at the promised land of codegen, we let `AbiMap` devour this complexity. Once you have an `AbiMap`, you can answer which `ExternAbi`s will lower to what `CanonAbi`s (and whether they will lower at all).
Removed:
- `conv_from_spec_abi` replaced by `AbiMap::canonize_abi`
- `adjust_abi` replaced by same
- `Conv::PreserveAll` as unused
- `Conv::Cold` as unused
- `enum Conv` replaced by `enum CanonAbi`
target-spec.json changes:
- If you have a target-spec.json then now your "entry-abi" key will be specified in terms of one of the `"{abi}"` strings Rust recognizes, e.g.
```json
"entry-abi": "C",
"entry-abi": "win64",
"entry-abi": "aapcs",
```
