Auto merge of #119968 - clubby789:unused-feature, r=compiler-errors

Remove unused/unnecessary features

~~The bulk of the actual code changes here is replacing try blocks with equivalent closures. I'm not entirely sure that's a good idea since it may have perf impact, happy to revert if that's the case/the change is unwanted.~~

I also removed a lot of `recursion_limit = "256"` since everything seems to build fine without that and most don't have any comment justifying it.
