Unrolled build for rust-lang#126119

Rollup merge of rust-lang#126119 - Zalathar:emit-filename, r=ehuss

Improve docs for using custom paths with `--emit`

Recently I found myself concluding that this feature didn't exist (rust-lang#126111 (comment)), despite having read the documentation, because it was hidden away in the middle of a paragraph full of other information.

Giving this documentation more space of its own should make it easier to find.

+### Custom paths for individual emit kinds
+
+Each emit type can optionally be followed by `=` to specify an explicit output
+path that only applies to the output of that type. For example:
+
+- `--emit=link,dep-info=/path/to/dep-info.d`
+  - Emit the crate itself as normal,
+    and also emit dependency info to the specified path.
+- `--emit=llvm-ir=-,mir`
+  - Emit MIR to the default filename (based on crate name),
+    and emit LLVM IR to stdout.
+
+### Emitting to stdout
+
+When using `--emit` or [`-o`](#option-o-output), output can be sent to stdout
+by specifying `-` as the path (e.g. `-o -`).
+
+Binary output types can only be written to stdout if it is not a tty.
+Text output types (`asm`, `dep-info`, `llvm-ir` and `mir`) can be written to
+stdout regardless of whether it is a tty or not.
+
+Only one type of output can be written to stdout. Attempting to write multiple
+types to stdout at the same time will result in an error.
