rustc: Implement #[link(cfg(..))] and crt-static #37545

This commit is an implementation of RFC 1721 which adds a new target feature
to the compiler, crt-static, which can be used to select how the C runtime for
a target is linked. Most targets dynamically linke the C runtime by default with
the notable exception of some of the musl targets.

This commit first adds the new target-feature, crt-static. If enabled, then
the cfg(target_feature = "crt-static") will be available. Targets like musl
will have this enabled by default. This feature can be controlled through the
standard target-feature interface, -C target-feature=+crt-static or
-C target-feature=-crt-static.

Next this adds an gated and unstable #[link(cfg(..))] feature to enable the
crt-static semantics we want with libc. The exact behavior of this attribute
is a little squishy, but it's intended to be a forever-unstable
implementation detail of the liblibc crate.

Specifically the #[link(cfg(..))] annotation means that the #[link]
directive is only active in a compilation unit if that cfg value is satisfied.
For example when compiling an rlib, these directives are just encoded and
ignored for dylibs, and all staticlibs are continued to be put into the rlib as
usual. When placing that rlib into a staticlib, executable, or dylib, however,
the cfg is evaluated as if it were defined in the final artifact and the
library is decided to be linked or not.

Essentially, what'll happen is:

  • On MSVC with -C target-feature=-crt-static, the msvcrt.lib library will be
    linked to.
  • On MSVC with -C target-feature=+crt-static, the libcmt.lib library will be
    linked to.
  • On musl with -C target-feature=-crt-static, the object files in liblibc.rlib
    are removed and -lc is passed instead.
  • On musl with -C target-feature=+crt-static, the object files in liblibc.rlib
    are used and -lc is not passed.

This commit does not include an update to the liblibc module to implement
these changes. I plan to do that just after the 1.14.0 beta release is cut to
ensure we get ample time to test this feature.

I tested bootstrapping this with this commit: alexcrichton/libc@5699631. With that I was able to produce static/dynamic MSVC and musl binaries with the flip of this switch, so it's at least confirmed to work there!

If possible, it would be really nice to have options for the debug versions of the CRT, msvcrtd.lib and libcmtd.lib.

Ok, I've updated this and now that beta has been released I went ahead and included the update to liblibc.

Seems like we should feature-gate the crt-static target feature so it can't be mentioned on the command line yet.
