bors e5484cec0e Auto merge of #88242 - bonega:allocation_range, r=oli-obk
Use custom wrap-around type instead of RangeInclusive

Two reasons:

1. More memory is allocated than necessary for `valid_range` in `Scalar`. The range is not used as an iterator and `exhausted` is never used.
2. `contains`, `count` etc. methods in `RangeInclusive` are doing very unhelpful(and dangerous!) things when used as a wrap-around range. - In general this PR wants to limit potentially confusing methods, that have a low probability of working.

Doing a local perf run, every metric shows improvement except for instructions.
Max-rss seem to have a very consistent improvement.

Sorry - newbie here, probably doing something wrong.

README.md

The codegen crate contains the code to convert from MIR into LLVM IR, and then from LLVM IR into machine code. In general it contains code that runs towards the end of the compilation process.

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