Nicholas Nethercote 706eb1604b Rename early_error_handler as default_handler.
Yes, its type is `EarlyErrorHandler`, but there is another value of that
type later on in the function called `handler` that is initialized with
`sopts.error_format`. So `default_handler` is a better name because it
clarifies that it is initialized with `ErrorOutputType::default()`.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
