This splits the vast majority of the code path taken by `fail!()` (`begin_unwind`) into a separate non-generic inline(never) function, so that uses of `fail!()` only monomorphise a small amount of code, reducing code bloat and making very small crates compile faster.
This ends up saving a single `call` instruction in the optimised code,
but saves a few hundred lines of non-optimised IR for `fn main() {
fail!("foo {}", "bar"); }` (comparing against the minimal generic
baseline from the parent commit).
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Could you add a comment referencing the comment below just explaining why it's "ok" we're doing two allocations here?

In two ways:
- for a plain `fail!(a)` we make the generic part of `begin_unwind` as small as possible (makes `fn main() { fail!() }` compile 2-3x faster, due to less monomorphisation bloat)
- for `fail!("format {}", "string")`, we avoid touching the generics completely by doing the formatting in a specialised function, which (with optimisations) saves a function call at the call-site of `fail!`. (This one has significantly less benefit than the first.)
