Using symbol::Interner makes it very easy to mixup UniqueTypeId symbols
with the global interner. In fact the Debug implementation of
UniqueTypeId did exactly this.
Using a separate interner type also avoids prefilling the interner with
unused symbols and allow for optimizing the symbol interner for parallel
access without negatively affecting the single threaded module codegen.
Since RFC 3052 soft deprecated the authors field anyway, hiding it from
crates.io, docs.rs, and making Cargo not add it by default, and it is
not generally up to date/useful information, we should remove it from
crates in this repo.
Update measureme dependency to the latest version
This version adds the ability to use `rdpmc` hardware-based performance
counters instead of wall-clock time for measuring duration. This also
introduces a dependency on the `perf-event-open-sys` crate on Linux
which is used when using hardware counters.

Replace const_cstr with cstr crate
This PR replaces the `const_cstr` macro inside `rustc_data_structures` with `cstr` macro from [cstr](https://crates.io/crates/cstr) crate.
The two macros basically serve the same purpose, which is to generate `&'static CStr` from a string literal. `cstr` is better because it validates the literal at compile time, while the existing `const_cstr` does it at runtime when `debug_assertions` is enabled. In addition, the value `cstr` generates can be used in constant context (which is seemingly not needed anywhere currently, though).
