Also move some types into their own module, and split up the writelines.

Saves having to build a mapping table at compile time. Bootstrap ensures CWD is always the root of the tree, and this tool is never executed outside the tree.

We prefer this. I'll add it to #3. |

match clang's `va_arg` assembly on arm targets tracking issue: rust-lang#44930 For this example ```rust #![feature(c_variadic)] #[unsafe(no_mangle)] unsafe extern "C" fn variadic(a: f64, mut args: ...) -> f64 { let b = args.arg::<f64>(); let c = args.arg::<f64>(); a + b + c } ``` We currently generate (via llvm): ```asm variadic: sub sp, sp, rust-lang#12 stmib sp, {r2, r3} vmov d0, r0, r1 add r0, sp, #4 vldr d1, [sp, #4] add r0, r0, rust-lang#15 bic r0, r0, rust-lang#7 vadd.f64 d0, d0, d1 add r1, r0, rust-lang#8 str r1, [sp] vldr d1, [r0] vadd.f64 d0, d0, d1 vmov r0, r1, d0 add sp, sp, rust-lang#12 bx lr ``` LLVM is not doing a good job. In fact, it's well-known that LLVM's implementation of `va_arg` is kind of bad, and we implement it ourselves (based on clang) for many targets already. For arm, our own `emit_ptr_va_arg` saves 3 instructions. Next, it turns out it's important for LLVM to explicitly start and end the lifetime of the `va_list`. In rust-lang#146059 I already end the lifetime, but when looking at this again, I noticed that it is important to also start it, see https://godbolt.org/z/EGqvKTTsK: failing to explicitly start the lifetime uses an extra register. So, the combination of `emit_ptr_va_arg` with starting/ending the lifetime makes rustc emit exactly the instructions that clang generates:: ```asm variadic: sub sp, sp, rust-lang#12 stmib sp, {r2, r3} vmov d16, r0, r1 vldr d17, [sp, #4] vadd.f64 d16, d16, d17 vldr d17, [sp, rust-lang#12] vadd.f64 d16, d16, d17 vmov r0, r1, d16 add sp, sp, rust-lang#12 bx lr ``` The arguments to `emit_ptr_va_arg` are based on [the clang implementation](https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/03dc2a41f3d9a500e47b513de5c5008c06860d65/clang/lib/CodeGen/Targets/ARM.cpp#L798-L844). r? ``@workingjubilee`` (I can re-roll if your queue is too full, but you do seem like the right person here) try-job: armhf-gnu

Like #3 but it pulls files out of the dependencies and stuffs them into COPYRIGHT.md.
Currently produces a 6.6MB file, which is 57 KiB when compressed with xz. Either way, Markdown renderers hate it.
