Rollup merge of #149666 - Zalathar:backend-has-zstd, r=jieyouxu

Add perma-unstable `--print=backend-has-zstd` for use by compiletest

Tests for `-Zdebuginfo-compression=zstd` need to be skipped if LLVM was built without support for zstd compression.

Currently, compiletest relies on messy and fragile heuristics to detect whether the compiler's LLVM was built with zstd support. But the compiler itself already knows whether LLVM has zstd or not, so it's easier for compiletest to just ask the compiler.

---

Originally I was intending for this to be a `--print=debuginfo-compression` flag that would print out a list of values supported by `-Zdebuginfo-compression=`. I got that working locally, but it was more complex than I was happy with (in both rustc and compiletest), so I decided to cut scope and instead add a very narrow perma-unstable print request instead.

There is always a circularity hazard whenever we ask the compiler-under-test for information about how to test it. But in this case, the underlying compiler code is fairly simple, whereas the previous heuristics were inherently messy and unreliable anyway.

Website | Getting started | Learn | Documentation | Contributing

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).
