5d30e93189 Add LLVM CFI support to the Rust compiler
This commit adds LLVM Control Flow Integrity (CFI) support to the Rust
compiler. It initially provides forward-edge control flow protection for
Rust-compiled code only by aggregating function pointers in groups
identified by their number of arguments.

Forward-edge control flow protection for C or C++ and Rust -compiled
code "mixed binaries" (i.e., for when C or C++ and Rust -compiled code
share the same virtual address space) will be provided in later work as
part of this project by defining and using compatible type identifiers
(see Type metadata in the design document in the tracking issue #89653).

LLVM CFI can be enabled with -Zsanitizer=cfi and requires LTO (i.e.,
-Clto).

0517acd543 Remove the -Zinsert-sideeffect
This removes all of the code we had in place to work-around LLVM's
handling of forward progress. From this removal excluded is a workaround
where we'd insert a `sideeffect` into clearly infinite loops such as
`loop {}`. This code remains conditionally effective when the LLVM
version is earlier than 12.0, which fixed the forward progress related
miscompilations at their root.

e2efec8976 Prevent miscompilation in trivial loop {}
Ideally, we would want to handle a broader set of cases to fully fix the
underlying bug here. That is currently relatively expensive at compile and
runtime, so we don't do that for now.
