Remove `-Zdump-mir-spanview`

The `-Zdump-mir-spanview` flag was added back in rust-lang#76074, as a development/debugging aid for the initial work on what would eventually become `-Cinstrument-coverage`. It causes the compiler to emit an HTML file containing a function's source code, with various spans highlighted based on the contents of MIR.

When the suggestion was made to [triage and remove unnecessary `-Z` flags (Zulip)](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/.60-Z.60.20option.20triage), I noted that this flag could potentially be worth removing, but I wanted to keep it around to see whether I found it useful for my own coverage work.

But when I actually tried to use it, I ran into various issues (e.g. it crashes on `tests/coverage/closure.rs`). If I can't trust it to work properly without a full overhaul, then instead of diving down a rabbit hole of trying to fix arcane span-handling bugs, it seems better to just remove this obscure old code entirely.

Don't create a separate "basename" when naming and opening a MIR dump file

These functions were split up by rust-lang#77080, in order to support passing the dump file's “basename” (filename without extension) to the implementation of `-Zdump-mir-spanview`, so that it could be used as a page title.

That flag has since been removed (rust-lang#119566), so now there's no particular reason for this code to handle the basename separately from the filename or full path.

This PR therefore restores things to (roughly) how they were before rust-lang#77080.
