This is really a mess. Here is the situation before this change:
- UI tests depend on not having `rust-src` available. In particular, <3f374128ee/tests/ui/tuple/wrong_argument_ice.stderr (L7-L8)> is depending on the `note` being a single line and not showing the source code.
- When `download-rustc` is disabled, we pass `-Zsimulate-remapped-rust-src-base=/rustc/FAKE_PREFIX` `-Ztranslate-remapped-path-to-local-path=no`, which changes the diagnostic to something like ` --> /rustc/FAKE_PREFIX/library/alloc/src/collections/vec_deque/mod.rs:1657:12`
- When `download-rustc` is enabled, we still pass those flags, but they no longer have an effect. Instead rustc emits diagnostic paths like this: ` --> /rustc/39c6804b92aa202369e402525cee329556bc1db0/library/alloc/src/collections/vec_deque/mod.rs:1657:12`. Notice how there's a real commit and not `FAKE_PREFIX`. This happens because we set `CFG_VIRTUAL_RUST_SOURCE_BASE_DIR` during bootstrapping for CI artifacts, and rustc previously didn't allow for `simulate-remapped` to affect paths that had already been remapped.
- Pietro noticed this and decided the right thing was to normalize `/rustc/<commit>` to `$SRC_DIR` in compiletest: 470423c3d2
- After my change to `x test core`, which rebuilds stage 2 std from source so `build/stage2-std` and `build/stage2` use the same `.rlib` metadata, the compiler suddenly notices it has sources for `std` available and prints those in the diagnostic, causing the test to fail.
This changes `simulate-remapped-rust-src-base` to support remapping paths that have already been remapped, unblocking download-rustc.
Unfortunately, although this fixes the specific problem for
download-rustc, it doesn't seem to affect all the compiler's
diagnostics. In particular, various `mir-opt` tests are failing to
respect `simulate-remapped-path-prefix` (I looked into fixing this but
it seems non-trivial). As a result, we can't remove the normalization in
compiletest that maps `/rustc/<commit>` to `$SRC_DIR`, so this change is
currently untested anywhere except locally.
