remove support for the (unstable) #[start] attribute
As explained by `@Noratrieb:`
`#[start]` should be deleted. It's nothing but an accidentally leaked implementation detail that's a not very useful mix between "portable" entrypoint logic and bad abstraction.
I think the way the stable user-facing entrypoint should work (and works today on stable) is pretty simple:
- `std`-using cross-platform programs should use `fn main()`. the compiler, together with `std`, will then ensure that code ends up at `main` (by having a platform-specific entrypoint that gets directed through `lang_start` in `std` to `main` - but that's just an implementation detail)
- `no_std` platform-specific programs should use `#![no_main]` and define their own platform-specific entrypoint symbol with `#[no_mangle]`, like `main`, `_start`, `WinMain` or `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here`. most of them only support a single platform anyways, and need cfg for the different platform's ways of passing arguments or other things *anyways*
`#[start]` is in a super weird position of being neither of those two. It tries to pretend that it's cross-platform, but its signature is a total lie. Those arguments are just stubbed out to zero on ~~Windows~~ wasm, for example. It also only handles the platform-specific entrypoints for a few platforms that are supported by `std`, like Windows or Unix-likes. `my_embedded_platform_wants_to_start_here` can't use it, and neither could a libc-less Linux program.
So we have an attribute that only works in some cases anyways, that has a signature that's a total lie (and a signature that, as I might want to add, has changed recently, and that I definitely would not be comfortable giving *any* stability guarantees on), and where there's a pretty easy way to get things working without it in the first place.
Note that this feature has **not** been RFCed in the first place.
*This comment was posted [in May](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29633#issuecomment-2088596042) and so far nobody spoke up in that issue with a usecase that would require keeping the attribute.*

Enable `unreachable_pub` lint in core
This PR enables the [`unreachable_pub`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/lints/listing/allowed-by-default.html#unreachable-pub) as warn in `core`, `rtstartup` and `panic_unwind`.
The motivation is similar to the compiler [MCP: Enable deny(unreachable_pub) on `rustc_*` crates](https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/773#issue-2467219005) :
> "Where is this thing used?" is a question I ask all the time when reading unfamiliar code. Because of this, I generally find it annoying when things are marked with a more permissive visibility than necessary. "This thing marked pub, which other crates is it used in? Oh, it's not used in any other crates."
Another motivation is to help to lint by utilizing it in-tree and seeing it's limitation in more complex scenarios.
The diff was mostly generated with `./x.py fix --stage 1 library/core/ -- --broken-code`, as well as manual edits for code in macros, generated code and other targets.

Partial progress on #132735: Replace extern "rust-intrinsic" with #[rustc_intrinsic] across the codebase
Part of #132735: Replace `extern "rust-intrinsic"` with `#[rustc_intrinsic]` macro
- Updated all instances of `extern "rust-intrinsic"` to use the `#[rustc_intrinsic]` macro.
- Skipped `.md` files and test files to avoid unnecessary changes.
Do not include GCC source code in source tarballs
The licensing story is unclear, it makes the archive much larger, and we should not need it for building anything in the tarballs (yet).

Add Profile Override for Non-Git Sources
## PR description
- Fixes#135358
This PR introduces the following updates to
1. `bootstrap.py`:
- If the `profile` is `None` and the source is non-git, the `profile` is automatically overridden to `"dist"`.
- Ensures that options like `download-ci-llvm` and `download-rustc` are not used with non-git sources. An exception is raised if these options are present in the configuration when the source is non-git.
2. `bootstrap_test.py`
- Added unit tests to verify both the profile override mechanism and the assertion for restricted options.
These tests ensure the correct behavior for non-git sources and the handling of `if-unchanged` options.

`@rustbot` T-bootstrap
the constant is wrong on some platforms (e.g., on mips64el it's 0x10, and 0x8
is RTLD_NOLOAD which makes all this functionality broken), the libc crate takes
care of those differences for us.
fallback to not setting the flag in non-glibc environments - some of them might
have support for it using a different value that we don't know about, and some
of them lack it entirely.

make it possible to use ci-rustc on tarball sources
Previously, bootstrap was using `Config::last_modified_commit` unconditionally to figure the commit to download precompiled rustc artifact from CI, which was leading builds to fail on tarball sources as `Config::last_modified_commit` requires `git` to be present in the project source. This change makes bootstrap to call `Config::last_modified_commit` only when it's running on git-managed source and read `git-commit-hash` file otherwise.
Fix dev guide docs for error-pattern
I know it would have made more sense to make this PR to the dev guide repo but I had already made the fix before I realized that.

[rustdoc] Replace module list items `ul`/`li` with `dl`/`dd`/`dt` elements
`@hywan` suggested that rustdoc should use `dl`,`dt` and `dd` HTML tags for listing items on module pages as it matches better what this is (an item and optionally its description). This is a very good idea so here is the implementation.
Also nice side-effect of this change: it reduces a bit the generated HTML since we go from:
This PR shouldn't impact page appearance.
```html
<ul class="item-table">
<li>
<div class="item-name">NAME</div>
<div class="desc docblock-short">THE DOC</div>
</li>
</ul>
```
to:
```html
<dl class="item-table">
<dt>NAME</dt>
<dd>THE DOC</dd>
</dl>
```
You can test it [here](https://rustdoc.crud.net/imperio/items-list/std/index.html).

Drop MIPS glibc 2.23 patches that reside in crosstool-ng now
These patches were added to crosstool-ng in https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng/commit/b88d3385162415294cba57e7b4cecc03259548fb and are therefore duplicate and fail to apply, breaking builds of `dist-mips*-linux`.
I have compile tested `dist-mipsel-linux`, I assume the other targets will work just as fine now.
