rustbuild: generate full list of dependencies for metadata
Previously, we didn't send --features to our cargo metadata invocations,
and thus missed some dependencies that we enable through the --features
mechanism.

Switch to bootstrapping from 1.27
It's possible the Float trait could be removed from core, but I couldn't tell whether it was intended to be removed or not. @SimonSapin may be able to comment more here; we can presumably also do that in a follow up PR as this one is already quite large.
In #49289, rustc was changed to emit metadata for binaries, which made
it so that the librustc.rmeta file created when compiling librustc was
overwritten by the rustc-main compilation. This commit renames the
rustc-main binary to avoid this problem.
https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/5524 has also been filed to
see if Cargo can learn to warn on this situation instead of leaving it
for the user to debug.
Ensure libraries built in stage0 have unique metadata
Issue #50786 shows a case with local rebuild where the libraries built
by stage0 had the same suffix as stage0's own, and were accidentally
loaded by that stage0 rustc when compiling `librustc_trans`.
Now we set `__CARGO_DEFAULT_LIB_METADATA` to "bootstrap" during stage0,
rather than the release channel like usual, so the library suffix will
always be completely distinct from the stage0 compiler.

Use the correct crt*.o files when linking musl targets.
This is supposed to support optionally using the system copy of musl
libc instead of the included one if supported. This currently only
affects the start files, which is enough to allow building rustc on musl
targets.
Most of the changes are analogous to crt-static.
Excluding the start files is something musl based distributions usually patch into their copy of rustc:
- https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/blob/eb064c8/community/rust/musl-fix-linux_musl_base.patch
- https://github.com/voidlinux/void-packages/blob/77400fc/srcpkgs/rust/patches/link-musl-dynamically.patch
For third-party distributions that not yet carry those patches it would be nice if it was supported without the need to patch upstream sources.
## Reasons
### What breaks?
Some start files were missed when originally writing the logic to swap in musl start files (gcc comes with its own start files, which are suppressed by -nostdlib, but not manually included later on). This caused #36710, which also affects rustc with the internal llvm copy or any other system libraries that need crtbegin/crtend.
### How is it fixed?
The system linker already has all the logic to decide which start files to include, so we can just defer to it (except of course if it doesn't target musl).
### Why is it optional?
In #40113 it was first tried to remove the start files, which broke compiling musl-targeting static binaries with a glibc-targeting compiler. This is why it eventually landed without removing the start files. Being an option side-steps the issue.
### Why are the start files still installed?
This has the nice side-effect, that the produced rust-std-* binaries can still be used by on a glibc-targeting system with a rustc built against glibc.
## Does it work?
With the following build script (using [musl-cross-make](https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make)): https://shadowice.org/~mixi/rust-musl/build.sh, I was able to cross-compile a musl-host musl-targeting rustc on a glibc-based system. The resulting binaries are at https://shadowice.org/~mixi/rust-musl/binaries/. This also requires #50103 and #50104 (which are also applied to the branch the build script uses).
