Generate synthetic object file to ensure all exported and used symbols participate in the linking
Fix#50007 and #47384
This is the synthetic object file approach that I described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/95363#issuecomment-1079932354, allowing all exported and used symbols to be linked while still allowing them to be GCed.

- Fix style errors.
- L4-bender does not yet support dynamic linking.
- Stack unwinding is not yet supported for x86_64-unknown-l4re-uclibc.
For now, just abort on panics.
- Use GNU-style linker options where possible. As suggested by review:
- Use standard GNU-style ld syntax for relro flags.
- Use standard GNU-style optimization flags and logic.
- Use standard GNU-style ld syntax for --subsystem.
- Don't read environment variables in L4Bender linker. Thanks to
CARGO_ENCODED_RUSTFLAGS introduced in #9601, l4-bender's arguments can
now be passed from the L4Re build system without resorting to custom
parsing of environment variables.
This commit refactors linker argument generation to leverage a helper
function that abstracts away details governing how these arguments are
transformed and provided to the linker.
This fixes the misuse of the `-exported_symbols_list` when an ld-like
linker is used rather than a compiler. A compiler would expect
`-Wl,-exported_symbols_list,path` but ld would expect
`-exported_symbols_list` and `path` as two seperate arguments. Prior
to this change, an ld-like linker was given
`-exported_symbols_list,path`.
Linker arguments must transformed when Rust is interacting with the
linker through a compiler. This commit introduces a helper function
that abstracts away details of this transformation.
This largely involves implementing the options debug-info-for-profiling
and profile-sample-use and forwarding them on to LLVM.
AutoFDO can be used on x86-64 Linux like this:
rustc -O -Cdebug-info-for-profiling main.rs -o main
perf record -b ./main
create_llvm_prof --binary=main --out=code.prof
rustc -O -Cprofile-sample-use=code.prof main.rs -o main2
Now `main2` will have feedback directed optimization applied to it.
The create_llvm_prof tool can be obtained from this github repository:

As reported in the stabilization issue, MacOS' linker doesn't support the `-s` and `-S` flags to strip symbols anymore. However, the os ships a separated tool to perform these operations.
This change allows the compiler to use that tool after a target has been compiled to strip symbols.
For rationale, see: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/72110#issuecomment-641169818

- Combine all native library arguments together, to simplify potential support for library deduplication and similar things
- Split arguments into order-independent and order-dependent, to define more precisely what (pre,post,late)-link-args mean
Tweak wasm_base target spec to indicate linker is not GNU and update linker inferring logic for wasm-ld.
Reported via [Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/wasi.20linker.20unknown.20argument.3A.20--as-needed): we try passing `--as-needed` to the linker if it's GNU ld which `wasm-ld` is not. Usually this isn't an issue for wasm as we would use the WasmLd linker driver but because the linker in question (`wasm32-unknown-wasi-wasm-ld`) ended with `-ld` our linker inferring [logic](f64503eb55/compiler/rustc_codegen_ssa/src/back/link.rs (L957-L1040)) used the `GccLinker` implementations. (UPD: The linker inferring logic actually didn't apply in this case because the linker is actually invoked through gcc in the reported issue. But it's still worth updating the logic I think.)
This change then has 2 parts:
1. Update wasm_base target spec to indicate `linker_is_gnu: false` plus a few additions of `target.is_like_wasm` to handle flags `wasm-ld` does in fact support.
2. Improve the linker detection logic to properly determine the correct flavor of wasm linker we're using when we can.
We need to add the new `target.is_like_wasm` branches to handle the case where the "linker" used could be something like clang which would then under the hood call wasm-ld.
Only pass --[no-]gc-sections if linker is GNU ld.
Fixes a regression from #84468 where linking now fails with solaris linkers. LinkerFlavor::Gcc does not always mean GNU ld specifically. And in the case of at least the solaris ld in illumos, that flag is unrecognized and will cause the linking step to fail.
Even though removing the `is_like_solaris` branch from `gc_sections` in #84468 made sense as `-z ignore/record` are more analogous to the `--[no-]-as-needed` flags, it inadvertently caused solaris linkers to be passed the `--gc-sections` flag. So let's just change it to be more explicit about when we pass those flags.
LinkerFlavor::Gcc does not always mean GNU ld specifically. And in the
case of at least the solaris ld in illumos, that flag is unrecognized
and will cause the linking step to fail.
Under some conditions, the toolchain will produce a sequence of linker
arguments that result in a NEEDED list that puts libc before libgcc_s;
e.g.,
[0] NEEDED 0x2046ba libc.so.1
[1] NEEDED 0x204723 libm.so.2
[2] NEEDED 0x204736 libsocket.so.1
[3] NEEDED 0x20478b libumem.so.1
[4] NEEDED 0x204763 libgcc_s.so.1
Both libc and libgcc_s provide an unwinder implementation, but libgcc_s
provides some extra symbols upon which Rust directly depends. If libc
is first in the NEEDED list we will find some of those symbols in libc
but others in libgcc_s, resulting in undefined behaviour as the two
implementations do not use compatible interior data structures.
This solution is not perfect, but is the simplest way to produce correct
binaries on illumos for now.
This commit implements both the native linking modifiers infrastructure
as well as an initial attempt at the individual modifiers from the RFC.
It also introduces a feature flag for the general syntax along with
individual feature flags for each modifier.

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.
