Zalathar 84ff44c749 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.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
