Rollup merge of #138682 - Alexendoo:extra-symbols, r=fee1-dead
Allow drivers to supply a list of extra symbols to intern

Allows adding new symbols as `const`s in external drivers, desirable in Clippy so we can use them in patterns to replace code like 75530e9f72/src/tools/clippy/clippy_lints/src/casts/cast_ptr_alignment.rs (L66)

The Clippy change adds a couple symbols as a demo, the exact `clippy_utils` API and replacing other usages can be done on the Clippy side to minimise sync conflicts

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

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