As discovered in #20376, the MSYS shell will silently rewrite arguemnts that
look like unix paths into their windows path counterparts for compatibility, but
the recently added `:kind` syntax added to the `-L` flag does not allow for this
form of rewriting. This means that the syntax can be difficult to use at an MSYS
prompt, as well as causing tests to fail when run manuall right now.
This commit takes the other option presented in the original issue to prefix the
path with `kind=` instead of suffixing it with `:kind`. For consistence, the
`-l` flag is also now migrating to `kind=name`.
This is a breaking change due to the *removal* of behavior with `-L`. All code
using `:kind` should now pass `kind=` for `-L` arguments. This is not currently,
but will become, a breaking change for `-l` flags. The old `name:kind` syntax is
still accepted, but all code should update to `kind=name`.

Closes#20376
This commit adds support for the compiler to distinguish between different forms
of lookup paths in the compiler itself. Issue #19767 has some background on this
topic, as well as some sample bugs which can occur if these lookup paths are not
separated.
This commits extends the existing command line flag `-L` with the same trailing
syntax as the `-l` flag. Each argument to `-L` can now have a trailing `:all`,
`:native`, `:crate`, or `:dependency`. This suffix indicates what form of lookup
path the compiler should add the argument to. The `dependency` lookup path is
used when looking up crate dependencies, the `crate` lookup path is used when
looking for immediate dependencies (`extern crate` statements), and the `native`
lookup path is used for probing for native libraries to insert into rlibs. Paths
with `all` are used for all of these purposes (the default).
The default compiler lookup path (the rustlib libdir) is by default added to all
of these paths. Additionally, the `RUST_PATH` lookup path is added to all of
these paths.
Closes#19767
