The latter was a codegen option that I added, but eventually ended up not using anywhere, so remove it for the time being. That said, I may end up in a situation where I need it again in the very near future, so I may end up eating my words here, but if I need to put it back, I'll include a test at least ;).

- Add documentation to CodegenParams fields per request in #51123
- Fix compare_cgparams which hadn't been updated for recent additions
- Remove unused and untested generic_context

LGTM

As a side-note: The PLT mechanism here is equivalent to using an ifunc alias (where the target is a weak symbol or dlsym result), so it is not strictly just for the feature, we just don't trust that the platform linker will handle those well, and we know it is possible to always implement them better for any environment: https://maskray.me/blog/2021-01-18-gnu-indirect-function#alternative
