The `clobber` targets are superseded by `mach clobber`, so we don't need them for any reason. The `clean` target is meant to get you to a post-`configure` state, but it doesn't really work, and if it's necessary for you to be in that state for some reason you can just clobber and re-`configure`, so it doesn't seem worth it to get it working again. Instead, delete all of them. Also delete `everything` which is not useful when `clobber` doesn't exist.

This commit also allows `memfd_create` in the seccomp-bpf policy for all
process types.
`memfd_create` is an API added in Linux 3.17 (and adopted by FreeBSD
for the upcoming version 13) for creating anonymous shared memory
not connected to any filesystem. Supporting it means that sandboxed
child processes on Linux can create shared memory directly instead of
messaging a broker, which is unavoidably slower, and it should avoid
the problems we'd been seeing with overly small `/dev/shm` in container
environments (which were causing serious problems for using Firefox for
automated testing of frontend projects).
`memfd_create` also introduces the related operation of file seals:
irrevocably preventing types of modifications to a file. Unfortunately,
the most useful one, `F_SEAL_WRITE`, can't be relied on; see the large
comment in `SharedMemory:ReadOnlyCopy` for details. So we still use
the applicable seals as defense in depth, but read-only copies are
implemented on Linux by using procfs (and see the comments on the
`ReadOnlyCopy` function in `shared_memory_posix.cc` for the subtleties
there).
There's also a FreeBSD implementation, using `cap_rights_limit` for
read-only copies, if the build host is new enough to have the
`memfd_create` function.

This resolves a long-standing issue in development where `mach artifact` (and therefore `mach bootstrap`) would fail unpredictably if you had dirty, but ignored, files in your checkout. Resolving this problem often required unwieldy `hg purge`/`git ignore` incantations that are easy to get wrong.
This patch addresses the problem by doing what we "should" have been doing all along, and consulting the VCS to list tracked files rather than listing EVERY file on disk and applying heuristics to determine whether they should be included in the hash.

This makes us use one less tool from MSVC, and removes one more use of wine
in cross builds.
We replace the call to either rc/llvm-rc or windres with a wrapper script.
While the script is not strictly needed for the latter, we use a wrapper
in that case anyway because it's one step towards fixing bug 1498414.
For llvm-rc, however, we need a wrapper because llvm-rc doesn't preprocess
on its own, so the wrapper does that too.
The wrapper script also allows to deal with the default flags passed to
llvm-rc or windres, rather than inherit them from old-configure.
We also need to explicitly pass the codepage to llvm-rc, which was not
necessary with rc (presumably, llvm-rc has a different default).
While here, remove the unused WINDRES subst from js/src/old-configure.in.
Also, while here, we remove --use-temp-file, because as described in the
linked bug and in the windres manual page, it was used to work around bugs
on Windows 98 and earlier.

We are currently relying on two different ways to insert side-by-side
manifests in binaries on Windows: through resource files, or through
the use of MT. The latter is not supported on mingw builds, which is
not great.
Link.exe has options to add a manifest at link time without relying on
either method above, but that's not supported on mingw either.
So the best we can do is to move everything to using resource files.
This also avoids using MT, which, on cross builds, requires using wine.
Ideally, the manifests would be declared in moz.build, but that
complicates things for cases like TestDllInterceptor, where there are
multiple binaries in the same directory, but only one of them needs the
manifest. This keeps the status quo of getting the manifest
automatically from the source directory.

This is not a feature-for-feature rewrite. The python version removes
unused things, and simplifies some others:
- Only two command line arguments are taken in, and all the others are
dropped and the corresponding values are gotten from the buildconfig
module instead. The command line arguments are also taken as
positional arguments rather than going with a full argument parser.
- Variable expansion in module.ver used to be limited to one specific
variable to expand for a given value, which is now replaced with the
possibility to expand any of the variables that are allowed in
module.ver.
- The perl version was adding a RT_MANIFEST entry on its own if a
manifest file existed in the objdir for the given binary, but if such
a file existed, the build would fail after linking from the changes in
bug 1613799.
- The perl version was defaulting the module name to the binary name in
a branch that was never taken because the module name was assigned to
an empty string before that.
The output from the new script has been validated to being identical to
the output from the perl script, except for one extra whitespace at the

It turns out setting CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO has unwanted side
effects.
First it's not actually strictly equivalent to using `cargo rustc --
-Clto`. For instance, it apparently also enables cross-language LTO in
newer versions of cargo.
Second, it changes the rust computed hash for all the dependencies of
the crate being built with the variable set, which makes them diverge
from when the same dependencies are built through another crate in the
tree that is not LTOed. This effectively makes us build a _lot_ of
crates twice, many of which are not cacheable.
Since the original problem is that cargo >= 1.45 passes extra flags (`-C
embed-bitcode=no`) to rustc that are incompatible with `-Clto`, and while
it knows to adjust based on the `lto` setting in the build profile
(which CARGO_PROFILE_RELEASE_LTO overrides the default of), cargo
ignores flags passed via `cargo rustc -- ...` when making those
adjustments.
So, we need to override with `-C embed-bitcode=yes` on our own at the
same time we pass `-Clto`. But doing that through `cargo rustc -- ...`
is not enough because all the dependencies of the crate built with
`-Clto` need to be built with `-C embed-bitcode=yes`. So we need to
override with `RUSTFLAGS`, which will affect all the dependencies.
But we also need to do this consistently across all crates, not only the
dependencies of crates built with `-Clto`, otherwise we'd still end up
building crates twice (once with and once without the override).
Unfortunately, the `-C embed-bitcode=*` flag is also not supported in
versions older than 1.45, so we have to avoid adding it on older
versions.
We unfortunately support a large range of versions of rustc (albeit only
for tools/crashreporter), but we actually need to upgrade the smaller
supported version because rustc < 1.38 doesn't support our top-level
Cargo.lock. This makes the version check slightly less awful.

In bug 1516228, we also made everything llvm-objdump to limit the
differences cross-platform, but that's not necessary anymore per the
previous change.
llvm-objdump doesn't support getting only the dynamic symbols table, so
we go back to what we were using before bug 1516228, namely readelf,
while preserving a code path to use the complete symbols table for the
networking test on libgkrust.a, which doesn't have a dynamic symbols
table.

This makes dir/target, dir/target-objects, etc. depend on

Generated files marked as "required during compile" are limited to a
number of extensions, most of which are source file types, so they get
generated when compiling the corresponding object file. Other types,
though, are currently handled via EXTRA_DEPS, which is clunky.
As of now, these other types are limited to link-related items, but more
would be useful (e.g. .inc files, which are only included in one
location).
This however works against the static analysis tasks (coverity and
clang-tidy), which currently rely on everything they need being created
via the export tier. That excludes using EXTRA_DEPS-based hacks.
We create a "pre-compile" tier, that is not used during a normal build,
but can be invoked manually, which the static analysis tasks will do.
