There are several cases where names of types and functions in the debug info are either ambiguous, or not helpful, such as including ambiguous placeholders (e.g., `{{impl}}`, `{{closure}}` or `dyn _'`) or dropping qualifications (e.g., for dynamic types).
Instead, each debug symbol name should be unique and useful:
* Include disambiguators for anonymous `DefPathDataName` (closures and generators), and unify their formatting when used as a path-qualifier vs item being qualified.
* Qualify the principal trait for dynamic types.
* If there is no principal trait for a dynamic type, emit all other traits instead.
* Respect the `qualified` argument when emitting ref and pointer types.
* For implementations, emit the disambiguator.
* Print const generics when emitting generic parameters or arguments.
Additionally, when targeting MSVC, its debugger treats many command arguments as C++ expressions, even when the argument is defined to be a symbol name. As such names in the debug info need to be more C++-like to be parsed correctly:
* Avoid characters with special meaning (`#`, `[`, `"`, `+`).
* Never start a name with `<` or `{` as this is treated as an operator.
* `>>` is always treated as a right-shift, even when parsing generic arguments (so add a space to avoid this).
* Emit function declarations using C/C++ style syntax (e.g., leading return type).
* Emit arrays as a synthetic `array$<type, size>` type.
* Include a `$` in all synthetic types as this is a legal character for C++, but not Rust (thus we avoid collisions with user types).
Use u32 over Option<u32> in DebugLoc
~~Changes `Option<u32>` fields in `DebugLoc` to `Option<NonZeroU32>`. Since the respective fields (`line` and `col`) are guaranteed to be 1-based, this layout optimization is a freebie.~~
EDIT: Changes `Option<u32>` fields in `DebugLoc` to `u32`. As `@bugadani` pointed out, an `Option<NonZeroU32>` is probably an unnecessary layer of abstraction since the `None` variant is always used as `UNKNOWN_LINE_NUMBER` (which is just `0`). Also, `SourceInfo` in `metadata.rs` already uses a `u32` instead of an `Option<u32>` to encode the same information, so I think this change is warranted.
Since `@jyn514` raised some concerns over measuring performance in a similar PR (#82255), does this need a perf run?
with an eye on merging `TargetOptions` into `Target`.
`TargetOptions` as a separate structure is mostly an implementation detail of `Target` construction, all its fields logically belong to `Target` and available from `Target` through `Deref` impls.
Preparation for a subsequent change that replaces
rustc_target::config::Config with its wrapped Target.
On its own, this commit breaks the build. I don't like making
build-breaking commits, but in this instance I believe that it
makes review easier, as the "real" changes of this PR can be
seen much more easily.

Certain platforms need to limit the DWARF version emitted (oxs, *bsd). This
change adds a dwarf_version entry to the options that allows a platform to
specify the dwarf version to use. By default this option is none and the default
DWARF version is selected.
Also adds an option for printing Option<u32> json keys
