Rollup merge of #150601 - folkertdev:c-variadic-const-eval, r=RalfJung

support c-variadic functions in `rustc_const_eval`

tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/44930

The new `GlobalAlloc::VaList` is used to create an `AllocId` that represents the variable argument list of a frame. The allocation itself does not store any data, all we need is the unique identifier.

The actual variable argument list is stored in `Memory`, and keyed by the `AllocId`. The `Frame` also stores this `AllocId`, so that when a frame is popped, it can deallocate the variable arguments.

At "runtime" a `VaList` value stores a pointer to the global allocation in its first bytes. The provenance on this pointer can be used to retrieve its `AllocId`, and the offset of the pointer is used to store the index of the next argument to read from the variable argument list.

Miri does not yet support `va_arg`, but I think that can be done separetely?

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • 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).
