This leads to a lot of confusion when people think the compile-time interpreter does the same things as Miri-the-tool. Also given that the folders in the compiler source are called interpret, not miri, I think it's better to just call this "the (compile-time) (MIR) interpreter", not "Miri".

Could you also add miri.html to

[output.html.redirect]
"/compiletest.html" = "tests/compiletest.html"
"/diagnostics/sessiondiagnostic.html" = "diagnostics/diagnostic-structs.html"
not to break the old link?

We could move this under src/mir, placing it on the top-level dir seems a bit ambiguous to me.

In the TOC it is listed below const-eval so maybe we should make that a folder?

avoid 'miri' when refering to the shared interpreter

This is basically the rustc source code version of rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide#1471.
