Nick Fitzgerald f18a1f1488 Cranelift: Deduplicate ABI signatures during lowering (#4829)
* Cranelift: Deduplicate ABI signatures during lowering

This commit creates the `SigSet` type which interns and deduplicates the ABI
signatures that we create from `ir::Signature`s. The ABI signatures are now
referred to indirectly via a `Sig` (which is a `cranelift_entity` ID), and we
pass around a `SigSet` to anything that needs to access the actual underlying
`SigData` (which is what `ABISig` used to be).

I had to change a couple methods to return a `SmallInstVec` instead of emitting
directly to work around what would otherwise be shared and exclusive borrows of
the lowering context overlapping. I don't expect any of these to heap allocate
in practice.

This does not remove the often-unnecessary allocations caused by
`ensure_struct_return_ptr_is_returned`. That is left for follow up work.

This also opens the door for further shuffling of signature data into more
efficient representations in the future, now that we have `SigSet` to store it
all in one place and it is threaded through all the code. We could potentially
move each signature's parameter and return vectors into one big vector shared
between all signatures, for example, which could cut down on allocations and
shrink the size of `SigData` since those `SmallVec`s have pretty large inline
capacity.

Overall, this refactoring gives a 1-7% speedup for compilation on
`pulldown-cmark`:

```
compilation :: cycles :: benchmarks/pulldown-cmark/benchmark.wasm

  Δ = 8754213.66 ± 7526266.23 (confidence = 99%)

  dedupe.so is 1.01x to 1.07x faster than main.so!

  [191003295 234620642.20 280597986] dedupe.so
  [197626699 243374855.86 321816763] main.so

compilation :: cycles :: benchmarks/bz2/benchmark.wasm

  No difference in performance.

* Use full path instead of import to avoid warnings in some build configurations

Warnings will then cause CI to fail.

* Move `SigSet` into `VCode`

This crate contains the core Cranelift code generator. It translates code from an intermediate representation into executable machine code.
