Updates from the Rust Project

446 pull requests were merged in the last week

Rust Compiler Performance Triage

Not a particularly notable week. Large swings aren't spurious but also are driven by changes in high-level behavior (diagnostics going from zero to one emission primarily), which causes a lot more work to happen. This isn't really representative of the underlying rustc performance changing though.

Triage done by @simulacrum. Revision range: 67b6975..76101ee

4 Regressions, 4 Improvements, 6 Mixed; 1 of them in rollups 33 artifact comparisons made in total
