Support JSON target specs in bootstrap
JSON target specs were destabilized in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/150151 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/151534. However, this broke trying to build rustc itself with a JSON target spec. This is because in a few places bootstrap is manually calling `rustc` without the ability for the user to provide additional flags (primarily, `-Zunstable-options` to enable JSON targets). There's a few different ways to fix this. One would be to change these calls to `rustc` to include flags provided by the user (such as `RUSTFLAGS_NOT_BOOTSTRAP`). Just to keep things simple, this PR proposes to just unconditionally pass `-Zunstable-options`. Another consideration here is how maintainable this is. A possible improvement here would be to have a function somewhere (BootstrapCommand, TargetSelection, free function) that would handle appropriately adding the `--target` flag. For example, that's what cargo does in [`CompileKind::add_target_arg`](592058c7ce/src/cargo/core/compiler/compile_kind.rs (L144-L154)). I have only tested building the compiler and a few tools like rustdoc. I have not tested doing things like building other tools, running tests, etc. This would be much easier if there was a Docker image for testing the use case of building rustc with a custom target spec (and even better if that ran in CI). After the next beta branch, using target JSON specs will become more cumbersome because target specs with the `.json` extension will now require passing `-Zjson-target-spec` (from https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/pull/16557). This does not affect target specs without the `.json` extension (such as those from RUST_TARGET_PATH). From my testing, it should be sufficient to pass `CARGOFLAGS_NOT_BOOTSTRAP="-Zjson-target-spec"`. I think that should be fine, since this is not a particularly common use case AFAIK. We could extend bootstrap to auto-detect if the target is a file path, and pass `-Zjson-target-spec` appropriately. I tried something similar inf0bdd35483, which could be adapted if desired. It would be nice if all of this is documented somewhere. https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/building/new-target.html does not really say how to build the compiler with a custom json target. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/151729
