Only produce .xz tarballs on CI
This PR adds a `./configure` option to choose which tarball compression formats to produce, and changes our CI configuration to only produce `.xz` tarballs. The release process will then recompress everything into `.gz` when producing a release.
This will drastically reduce our storage costs for CI artifacts, as we'd stop storing the same data twice. **Stable, beta and nightly releases will not be affected by this at all.**
Before landing this we'll need to increase the VM size of our release process, to recompress everything in a reasonable amount of time.

Don't give an error when creating a file for the first time
Previously, `os.remove` would always give a FileNotFound error the first
time you called it, causing bootstrap to make unnecessary copies. This
now only calls `remove()` if the file exists, avoiding the unnecessary
error.
This is a pretty small cleanup but I think it's useful. Taken from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79540.
Add llvm-libunwind change to bootstrap CHANGELOG
From #77703.
This doesn't need a `changelog-seen` version bump because the old values aren't accepted anymore, meaning anyone who was using this had to change it already.

bootstrap: put the component name in the tarball temp dir path
This should not matter right now, but if we ever parallelize rustbuild this will avoid tarball contents being merged together.

Utilize PGO for rustc linux dist builds
This implements support for applying PGO to the rustc compilation step (not
standard library or any tooling, including rustdoc). Expanding PGO to more tools
is not terribly difficult but will involve more work and greater CI time
commitment.
For the same reason of avoiding greater implementation time commitment,
implementing for platforms outside of x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu is skipped.
In practice it should be quite simple to extend over time to more platforms. The
initial implementation is intentionally minimal here to avoid too much work
investment before we start seeing wins for a subset of Rust users.
The choice of workloads to profile here is somewhat arbitrary, but the general
rationale was to aim for a small set that largely avoided time regressions on
perf.rust-lang.org's full suite of crates. The set chosen is libcore, cargo (and
its dependencies), and a few ad-hoc stress tests from perf.rlo. The stress tests
are arguably the most controversial, but they benefit those cases (avoiding
regressions) and do not really remove wins from other benchmarks.
The primary next step after this PR lands is to implement support for PGO in
LLVM. It is unclear whether we can afford a full LLVM rebuild in CI, though, so
the approach taken there may need to be more staggered. rustc-only PGO seems
well affordable on linux at least, giving us up to 20% wall time wins on some
crates for 15 minutes of extra CI time (1 hour with this PR, up from 45 minutes).
The PGO data is uploaded to allow others to reuse it if attempting to reproduce
the CI build or potentially, in the future, on other platforms where an
off-by-one strategy is used for dist builds at minimal performance cost.
