bjorn3 f0707fad31 Mark all optimize methods and the codegen method as safe
There is no safety contract and I don't think any of them can actually
cause UB in more ways than passing malicious source code to rustc can.
While LtoModuleCodegen::optimize says that the returned ModuleCodegen
points into the LTO module, the LTO module has already been dropped by
the time this function returns, so if the returned ModuleCodegen indeed
points into the LTO module, we would have seen crashes on every LTO
compilation, which we don't. As such the comment is outdated.

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

For more information about how codegen works, see the rustc dev guide.
