Rust 1.61 changed the way `Debug` output looks for strings with null
bytes in them, which broke some expected-panic error message matches.
This makes the expectations more generic while still capturing the
important part ("has a null byte").
A new version of rustc was released this morning and we have a few small
breakages on our CI which need fixing:
* A new warning was coming out of the c-api crate about an unneeded
`unsafe` block.
* The panic message of a task in `cranelift-object` needed updating
since the standard library changed how it formats strings with the nul
byte.
Addresses #3809: when we are asked to create a Cranelift backend with
shared flags that indicate support for SIMD, we should check that the
ISA level needed for our SIMD lowerings is present.
This also paves the way for unifying TargetIsa and MachBackend, since now they map one to one. In theory the two traits could be merged, which would be nice to limit the number of total concepts. Also they have quite different responsibilities, so it might be fine to keep them separate.
Interestingly, this PR started as removing RegInfo from the TargetIsa trait since the adapter returned a dummy value there. From the fallout, noticed that all Display implementations didn't needed an ISA anymore (since these were only used to render ISA specific registers). Also the whole family of RegInfo / ValueLoc / RegUnit was exclusively used for the old backend, and these could be removed. Notably, some IR instructions needed to be removed, because they were using RegUnit too: this was the oddball of regfill / regmove / regspill / copy_special, which were IR instructions inserted by the old regalloc. Fare thee well!
Avoid a `panic!()`, and return a proper error, on a NUL byte. We hit a
null-byte check inside the `object` crate otherwise; this blocks fuzzing
when testing via a write-object-file-and-dlopen flow.
