Auto merge of rust-lang#119556 - onur-ozkan:optimized-compiler-builtins, r=onur-ozkan

Reland optimized-compiler-builtins config

Copy of rust-lang#102579 PR.

From rust-lang#102579:

> No concerns on my side. Currently, Jyn isn't actively working on the project. I will close this PR; open another one to cherry-pick the commits, resolve conflicts, and then r+ it.

> Fixes rust-lang#102560. Fixes rust-lang#101172. Helps with rust-lang#105065 (although there's some weirdness there - it's still broken when optimized-compiler-builtins is set to true).

Fixes rust-lang#102560. Fixes rust-lang#101172. Helps with rust-lang#105065
