Delete the `cfg(not(parallel))` serial compiler
Since it's inception a long time ago, the parallel compiler and its cfgs have been a maintenance burden. This was a necessary evil the allow iteration while not degrading performance because of synchronization overhead.
But this time is over. Thanks to the amazing work by the parallel working group (and the dyn sync crimes), the parallel compiler has now been fast enough to be shipped by default in nightly for quite a while now.
Stable and beta have still been on the serial compiler, because they can't use `-Zthreads` anyways.
But this is quite suboptimal:
- the maintenance burden still sucks
- we're not testing the serial compiler in nightly
Because of these reasons, it's time to end it. The serial compiler has served us well in the years since it was split from the parallel one, but it's over now.

#113349
Note that the default is still 1 thread, as more than 1 thread is still fairly broken.
cc `@onur-ozkan` to see if i did the bootstrap field removal correctly, `@SparrowLii` on the sync parts

Depend on rustc_abi in compiler crates that use it indirectly but have
not yet taken on that dependency, and are not entangled in my other PRs.
This leaves an "excise rustc_target" step after the dust settles.
Use more slice patterns inside the compiler
Nothing super noteworthy. Just replacing the common 'fragile' pattern of "length check followed by indexing or unwrap" with slice patterns for legibility and 'robustness'.

use stable sort to sort multipart diagnostics
I think a stable sort should be used to sort the different parts of a multipart selection. The current unstable sort uses the text of the suggestion as a tie-breaker. That just doesn't seem right, and the order of the input is a better choice I think, because it gives the diagnostic author more control.
This came up when I was building a suggestion where
```rust
fn foo() {}
```
must be turned into an unsafe function, and an attribute must be added
```rust
#[target_feature(enable = "...")]
unsafe fn foo() {}
```
In this example, the two suggestions occur at the same position, but the order is extremely important: unsafe must come after the attribute. But the situation changes if there is a pub/pub(crate), and if the unsafe is already present. It just out that because of the suggestion text, there is no way for me to order the suggestions correctly.
This change probably should be tested, but are there tests of the diagnostics code itself in the tests?

Some `const { }` asserts for #128200
The correctness of code in #128200 relies on an array being sorted (so that it can be used in binary search later), which is currently enforced with `// tidy-alphabetical` (and characters being written in `\u{XXXX}` form), as well as lack of duplicate entries with conflicting keys, which is not currently enforced.
This PR changes it to using a `const{ }` assertion (and also checks for duplicate entries). Sadly, we cannot use the recently-stabilized `is_sorted_by_key` here, because it is not const (but it would not allow us to check for uniqueness anyways). Instead, let's write a manual loop.
Alternative approach (perfect hash function): #128463

On short error format, append primary span label to message
The `error-format=short` output only displays the path, error code and main error message all in the same line. We now add the primary span label as well after the error message, to provide more context.

Change output normalization logic to be linear against size of output
Modify the rendered output normalization routine to scan each character *once* and construct a `String` to be printed out to the terminal *once*, instead of using `String::replace` in a loop multiple times. The output doesn't change, but the time spent to prepare a diagnostic is now faster (or rather, closer to what it was before #127528).
When a suggestion part is for already present code, do not highlight it. If after that there are no highlights left, do not show the suggestion at all.
Fix clippy lint suggestion incorrectly treated as `span_help`.
