Unrolled build for rust-lang#128149

Rollup merge of rust-lang#128149 - RalfJung:nontemporal_store, r=jieyouxu,Amanieu,Jubilee

nontemporal_store: make sure that the intrinsic is truly just a hint

The `!nontemporal` flag for stores in LLVM *sounds* like it is just a hint, but actually, it is not -- at least on x86, non-temporal stores need very special treatment by the programmer or else the Rust memory model breaks down. LLVM still treats these stores as-if they were normal stores for optimizations, which is [highly dubious](llvm/llvm-project#64521). Let's avoid all that dubiousness by making our own non-temporal stores be truly just a hint, which is possible on some targets (e.g. ARM). On all other targets, non-temporal stores become regular stores.

~~Blocked on rust-lang/stdarch#1541 propagating to the rustc repo, to make sure the `_mm_stream` intrinsics are unaffected by this change.~~

Fixes rust-lang#114582
