Rollup merge of #124514 - michaelwoerister:zero-disambiguator-demangling-recommendation, r=davidtwco

Recommend to never display zero disambiguators when demangling v0 symbols

This PR extends the [v0 symbol mangling documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/symbol-mangling/v0.html) with the strong recommendation that demanglers should never display zero-disambiguators, especially when dealing with `crate-root`.

Being able to rely on `C3foo` to be rendered as `foo` (i.e. without explicit disambiguator value) rather than as `foo[0]` allows the compiler to encode things like new basic types in a backward compatible way. This idea has been originally proposed by `@eddyb` in [the discussion around supporting `f16` and `f128` in the v0 mangling scheme](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122106). It is a generally useful mechanism for supporting a certain class of new elements in the v0 mangling scheme in a backward compatible way (whether as a temporary workaround until downstream tooling has picked up grammar changes or as a permanent encoding).

Website | Getting started | Learn | Documentation | Contributing

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrate with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
