[EXPERIMENT] fix: stop `emitting .debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes`

### DO NOT MERGE

---

A continuation of rust-lang#94181.
Fixes rust-lang#48762
MCP can be found in <rust-lang/compiler-team#688>.

`.debug_pubnames` and `.debug_pubtypes` are poorly designed and people
seldom use them. However, they take a considerable portion of size in
the final binary. This tells LLVM stop emitting those sections on
DWARFv4 or lower. DWARFv5 use `.debug_names` which is more concise
in size and performant for name lookup.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0.

The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

# Required changes

`rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make
jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please
see the previous commit for details.

# Other changes

Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore
for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case,
this debug information took:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~92 KiB (~15%)
    rust/core.o                  ~114 KiB ( ~5%)

In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~11 KiB (~6%)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~17 KiB (~5%)
    rust/core.o                   ~21 KiB (~1.5%)

In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the
`.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus
removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7].
Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6].

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~11 KiB (~6%)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~17 KiB (~5%)
    rust/core.o                   ~21 KiB (~1.5%)

In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the
`.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus
removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7].
Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6].

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0.

The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

# Required changes

`rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make
jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please
see the previous commit for details.

# Other changes

Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore
for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case,
this debug information took:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~92 KiB (~15%)
    rust/core.o                  ~114 KiB ( ~5%)

In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~11 KiB (~6%)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~17 KiB (~5%)

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0.

The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

`rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make
jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please
see the previous commit for details.

Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore
for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case,
this debug information took:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~92 KiB (~15%)
    rust/core.o                  ~114 KiB ( ~5%)

In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~11 KiB (~6%)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~17 KiB (~5%)
    rust/core.o                   ~21 KiB (~1.5%)

In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the
`.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus
removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7].
Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6].

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.75.0 to 1.76.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

No unstable features that we use were stabilized in Rust 1.76.0.

The only unstable features allowed to be used outside the `kernel` crate
are still `new_uninit,offset_of`, though other code to be upstreamed
may increase the list.

Please see [3] for details.

`rustc` (and others) now warns when it cannot connect to the Make
jobserver, thus mark those invocations as recursive as needed. Please
see the previous commit for details.

Rust 1.76.0 does not emit the `.debug_pub{names,types}` sections anymore
for DWARFv4 [4][5]. For instance, in the uncompressed debug info case,
this debug information took:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~64 KiB (~18% of total object size)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~92 KiB (~15%)
    rust/core.o                  ~114 KiB ( ~5%)

In the compressed debug info (zlib) case:

    samples/rust/rust_minimal.o   ~11 KiB (~6%)
    rust/kernel.o                 ~17 KiB (~5%)
    rust/core.o                   ~21 KiB (~1.5%)

In addition, the `rustc_codegen_gcc` backend now does not emit the
`.eh_frame` section when compiling under `-Cpanic=abort` [6], thus
removing the need for the patch in the CI to compile the kernel [7].
Moreover, it also now emits the `.comment` section too [6].

The vast majority of changes are due to our `alloc` fork being upgraded
at once.

There are two kinds of changes to be aware of: the ones coming from
upstream, which we should follow as closely as possible, and the updates
needed in our added fallible APIs to keep them matching the newer
infallible APIs coming from upstream.

Instead of taking a look at the diff of this patch, an alternative
approach is reviewing a diff of the changes between upstream `alloc` and
the kernel's. This allows to easily inspect the kernel additions only,
especially to check if the fallible methods we already have still match
the infallible ones in the new version coming from upstream.

Another approach is reviewing the changes introduced in the additions in
the kernel fork between the two versions. This is useful to spot
potentially unintended changes to our additions.

To apply these approaches, one may follow steps similar to the following
to generate a pair of patches that show the differences between upstream
Rust and the kernel (for the subset of `alloc` we use) before and after
applying this patch:

    # Get the difference with respect to the old version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > old.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

    # Apply this patch.
    git -C linux am rust-upgrade.patch

    # Get the difference with respect to the new version.
    git -C rust checkout $(linux/scripts/min-tool-version.sh rustc)
    git -C linux ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD -- rust/alloc |
        cut -d/ -f3- |
        grep -Fv README.md |
        xargs -IPATH cp rust/library/alloc/src/PATH linux/rust/alloc/PATH
    git -C linux diff --patch-with-stat --summary -R > new.patch
    git -C linux restore rust/alloc

Now one may check the `new.patch` to take a look at the additions (first
approach) or at the difference between those two patches (second
approach). For the latter, a side-by-side tool is recommended.
