Rollup merge of #156554 - guybedford:wasm-use-legacy-eh, r=alexcrichton Allow user-provided `llvm_args` to override target spec arguments This switches the order in which `-Cllvm-args` is applied between target-spec arguments and user-provided LLVM arguments. This came up in rust-lang/rust#156061, where the target passing `-Cllvm-args=-wasm-use-legacy-eh=false` means that a user passing `-Cllvm-args=-wasm-use-legacy-eh=true` cannot override this value since the LLVM arguments support the last argument overriding the previous, and user arguments were chained first. With this change, it is possible for Wasm targets to opt into legacy EH for compatibility with runtimes that don't yet implement the modern exnref/try_table instructions, such as Node.js 20 on V8 11.3 and older browsers. While Node.js 20 is formally EOL, many libraries will still need to support this version for a few months yet, so this would ease the transition path to modern exception handling having an opt-out. Originally this PR added support for a dedicated `-Z` flag for switching to legacy exception handling, but fine-grained control over the arguments would be a preferable solution provided it does not conflict with other behaviours. //cc @alexcrichton

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
