…-Simulacrum

Fix caching issue when building tools.

This fixes a problem with tool builds not being cached properly.

rust-lang#73297 changed it so that Clippy will participate in the "deny warnings" setting. Unfortunately this causes a problem because Clippy shares the build directory with other tools which do not participate in "deny warnings".  Because Cargo does not independently cache artifacts based on different RUSTFLAGS settings, it causes all the shared dependencies to get rebuilt if Clippy ever gets built.

The solution here is to stop using RUSTFLAGS, and just sneak the settings in through the rustc wrapper. Cargo won't know about the different settings, so it will not bust the cache. This should be safe since lint settings on dependencies are ignored. This is how things used to work in the past before rust-lang#64316.

Alternate solutions:
* Treat Clippy as a "submodule" and don't enforce warnings on it. This was the behavior before rust-lang#73297. The consequence is that if a warning sneaks into clippy, that the clippy maintainers will need to fix it when they sync clippy back to the clippy repo.
* Just deny warnings on all tools (removing the in-tree/submodule distinction). This is tempting, but with some issues (cc rust-lang#52336):
  * Adding or changing warnings in rustc can be difficult to land because tools have to be updated if they trip the warning. In practice, this isn't too bad.  Cargo (and rustfmt) already runs with `deny(warnings)`, so this has been the de-facto standard already (although they do not use the extra lints like `unused_lifetimes`).
* Teach Cargo to add flags to the workspace members, but not dependencies.
* Teach Cargo to add flags without fingerprinting them?
* Teach Cargo to independently cache different RUSTFLAGS artifacts (this was [reverted](rust-lang/cargo#7417) due to complications). This would also unnecessarily rebuild dependencies, but would avoid cache thrashing.
* Teach Cargo about lint settings.

Closes rust-lang#74016
