It is only enabled when the CG_CLIF_INCR_CACHE env var is set to prevent accidentally caching object files in the incremental cache while modifying cg_clif. Otherwise it would be necessary to completely disable the incremental cache during development, which makes the sysroot build much slower.

Fixes #760

Currently running the rustc-perf suite. Hopefully this makes the incremental benches mostly green too, like the non-incremental benches.

I think something went wrong with the incremental benches. The results for cg_clif are still as horrible as before.

I think it is now correctly benchmarking. I moved the CG_CLIF_INCR_CACHE=1 from the ./target/release/collector invocation to the source of the collector.

Posted results in https://github.com/bjorn3/rustc_codegen_cranelift/issues/878#issuecomment-597871730. tl;dr: most incremental benchmarks are now faster with cg_clif than with cg_llvm, but there are still regressions.
