This updates all the deploy scripts and the deploy workflow.
The deploy workflow now runs the metadata collector to collect the lint
documentation. It also changes the files that are checked out in the
deploy workflow from master and adds an explanation why we have to do
this.
As proposed in the pull request thread, there is some inconsistency in
handling the `--no-deps` flag which requires `--` before it, and
`--fix` flag which does not.
In this commit the `--no-deps` flag does not need the `--` anymore.
However, it can still be used that way: `cargo clipyy -- --no-deps`.
Let Cargo track CLIPPY_ARGS
This PR makes `clippy-driver` emit `CLIPPY_ARGS` in its `dep-info` output.
Just like #6441, this allows this workflow to work:
```shell
cargo clippy # warning: empty `loop {}` wastes CPU cycles
cargo clippy -- -A clippy::empty_loop # no warnings emitted
```
But without rebuilding all dependencies.

changelog: Cargo now re-runs Clippy if arguments after `--` provided to `cargo clippy` are changed.
Add --no-deps option to avoid running on path dependencies in workspaces
Since rust-lang/cargo#8758 has hit nightly, this allows us to address the second bullet point and [the concern related to `--fix`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8143#issuecomment-619289546) in the [RUSTC_WORKSPACE_WRAPPER tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/8143).
As a reminder stabilizing that env var will solve #4612 (Clippy not running after `cargo check` in stable) and would allow to stabilize the `--fix` option in Clippy.

Fixes#3025
This introduces a work-around for a bug in rustup.rs when excuting
cargo from a custom toolchain. Instead of trusting rustup to
invoke cargo from one of the release channels we just invoke
nightly cargo directly.
