Description

https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/HEAD/tests/mir-opt/README.md has quite a lot of info but it's hard to find. We should:

  1. Move all its info into the guide (https://github.com/rust-lang/rustc-dev-guide/pull/2718 is a good start)
  2. Delete it and replace it with a link to the new guide docs

We should not just duplicate the docs, that'll cause them to get out of sync.

Research direction

Read tests/mir-opt/README.md and the rustc-dev-guide PR 2718 to identify the information that belongs in the guide. Move that information into the relevant guide documentation, remove the standalone README content, and leave a link to the new docs so the information is maintained in one place.
