Enable clang build timing analysis I didn't enable this by default for clang due to making the build time 10% worse or so. Unfortunate, but tbh devs for whom 10% of build time is not *that* bad should probably simply enable this. Change-Id: I8d1e5b6f3f76c649a4e2f115f534f7f97cee46e6

Remove rl-next-dev We realized that there's really no good place to put these dev facing bulletins, and the user-facing release notes aren't really the worst place to put them, I guess, and we do kind of hope that it converts users to devs. Change-Id: Id9387b2964fe291cb5a3f74ad6344157f19b540c

We now have Clang build profiling available, which generates Chrome
tracing files for each compilation unit. To enable it, run `meson configure

build -Dprofile-build=enabled` in a Clang stdenv (`nix develop
.#native-clangStdenvPackages`) then rerun the compilation.

If you want to make the build go faster, do a clang build with meson, then run
`maintainers/buildtime_report.sh build`, then contemplate how to improve the
build time.
You can also look at individual object files' traces in
<https://ui.perfetto.dev>.
