Merged into rust-next -- thanks!

As discussed offline, this counts as a back merge, so let's avoid it in the future unless justified. For this time around, I provided this context in the merge commit:

This is a back merge since the pull request has a newer base -- we will avoid that in the future.

And, given it is a back merge, it happens to resolve the "subtle" conflict around '--remap-path-{prefix,scope}' that I discussed in linux-next [1], plus a few other common conflicts. The result matches what we did for next-20260407.

The actual diffstat (i.e. using a temporary merge of upstream first) is:
