We default to -Zi for Windows debug flags, which is for generating debug info
into a PDB file, but clang-cl doesn't actually implement that so -Zi is
an alias for -Z7 in clang-cl:
http://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#id9
sccache has special handling for -Zi because multiple compiles writing
to the same PDB file is not cacheable, so we've always overridden -Zi with -Z7
in CI when using sccache.
Given that everyone should be using clang-cl nowadays and MSVC will no longer
be supported soon, this patch changes the default and removes some PDB
file name flag setting from rules.mk, as well as the no-longer-necessary
overrides from mozconfig.cache.

Now that everything is lined up nicely, we don't need those anymore.
We can fill cargo-linker.bat with HOST_LINKER and HOST_LINKER_LIBPATHS,
which, unfortunately, can't be used as is, so we add a variant for
substitution in .bat files.

This was added back in bug 1414287, as a sort of quick hack, but since
then, bug 1515528 fixed things such that the hack is not necessary
anymore, and bug 1523201 allows for things to work on automation
(HOST_LINKER ended up being wrong because of the lack of "proper" VC
configuration on automation)

The only use in configure itself is for a MSVC version check that is now
always true (we don't accept versions < 19.15 anymore).
The only uses in the build system are in code that could just use
CC_TYPE instead.

Because MSVC compilers only support one architecture, we need to search
"cl" in different toolchain search paths for each of the host and
target, especially when they are different.
Likewise for the library paths for the linker. Ideally we'd pass
-LIBPATH both for host and target, but that has implications for rust
that I don't want to have to figure just now.

None of the values tested against OS_TEST are actually possible per
split_triplet in build/moz.configure/init.configure, so the code is
dead in practice.

At some point we made L10NBASEDIR required. That means that
env L10NBASEDIR=... make chrome-AB_CD
takes the value set by configure. That is different than
make chrome-AB_CD L10NBASEDIR=...
which uses the value passed on the command line. Rather than making
the latter style work with `mach build`, we instead set the "correct"
value for L10NBASEDIR in automation.
We could remove the --with-l10n-base stanzas from many automation
mozconfigs, but there's some small advantage to keeping them explicit.
Perhaps eventually we will remove them -- hopefully after
standardizing l10n vs l10n-central!

Enough linux-based systems don't have libsecret that we can't make it a
requirement on linux. For those that do, however, we can dynamically load the
library at runtime. For those that don't, we can fall back to NSS.

The build system has skipped creating target static libraries for very
long, except in very specific cases.
We can actually do the same for host static libraries, for which we
don't even need the escape hatch to still allow to create static
libraries.

OBJ_SUFFIX is modified during the profile-generation phase to be i_o
instead of o/obj. _OBJ_SUFFIX is the unmodified value.
We don't actually do PGO for host objects, so we don't need to build the
objects with a different suffix.

This is just an awkward feature of the FasterMake build system:
without a direct consumer, GENERATED_FILES aren't handled. We
"consume" them into a dummy directory that isn't packaged. Sadly, the
FasterMake generic rule doesn't handle relative directories smoothly,
so we have to special case that too.

By default, windows.h exposes a large number of problematic define statements
which are UpperCamelCase, such as a define from `CreateWindow` to
`CreateWindow{A,W}`.
As many of these names are generic (e.g. CreateFile, CreateWindow), they can
mess up Gecko code that may legitimately have its own methods with the same
names.
The header also defines some traditional SCREAMING_SNAKE_CASE defines which
can mess up our code by conflicting with local values.
This patch adds a simple code generator which generates wrappers for these
defines, and uses them to wrap the windows.h wrapper using the `stl_wrappers`
mechanism, allowing us to use windows.h in more places.
