1.52 Cargo adds rust-lang/cargo#8640 which means that cargo will try to purge
the doc directory caches for us. In theory this may mean that we can jettison
the clear_if_dirty for rustdoc versioning entirely, but for now just workaround
the effects of this change in a less principled but more local way.
Fix cross compiling dist/build invocations
I am uncertain why the first commit is not affecting CI. I suspect it's because we pass --disable-docs on most of our cross-compilation builders. The second commit doesn't affect CI because CI runs x.py dist, not x.py build.
Both commits are standalone; together they should resolve#76733. The first commit doesn't really fix that issue but rather just fixes cross-compiled x.py dist, resolving a bug introduced in #76549.
The Rust version number is currently embedded in bootstrap's source
code, which makes it hard to update it automatically or access it
outside of ./x.py (as you'd have to parse the source code).
This commit moves the version number to a standalone plaintext file,
which makes accessing or updating it trivial.
The directories for core, alloc, std, proc_macro, and test crates now
correspond directly to the crate name and stripping the "lib" prefix is
no longer necessary.
`rustc` allows passing in predefined target triples as well as JSON
target specification files. This change allows bootstrap to have the
first inkling about those differences. This allows building a
cross-compiler for an out-of-tree architecture (even though that
compiler won't work for other reasons).
Even if no one ever uses this functionality, I think the newtype
around the `Interned<String>` improves the readability of the code.
This should run much faster.
There are also some drive-by cleanups here to try to simplify things.
Also, the paths for in-tree crates are now displayed as relative
in `x.py test -h -v`.
On my machine, an error looks like:

build-std compatible sanitizer support
### Motivation
When using `-Z sanitizer=*` feature it is essential that both user code and
standard library is instrumented. Otherwise the utility of sanitizer will be
limited, or its use will be impractical like in the case of memory sanitizer.
The recently introduced cargo feature build-std makes it possible to rebuild
standard library with arbitrary rustc flags. Unfortunately, those changes alone
do not make it easy to rebuild standard library with sanitizers, since runtimes
are dependencies of std that have to be build in specific environment,
generally not available outside rustbuild process. Additionally rebuilding them
requires presence of llvm-config and compiler-rt sources.
The goal of changes proposed here is to make it possible to avoid rebuilding
sanitizer runtimes when rebuilding the std, thus making it possible to
instrument standard library for use with sanitizer with simple, although
verbose command:
```
env CARGO_TARGET_X86_64_UNKNOWN_LINUX_GNU_RUSTFLAGS=-Zsanitizer=thread cargo test -Zbuild-std --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
```
### Implementation
* Sanitizer runtimes are no long packed into crates. Instead, libraries build
from compiler-rt are used as is, after renaming them into `librusc_rt.*`.
* rustc obtains runtimes from target libdir for default sysroot, so that
they are not required in custom build sysroots created with build-std.
* The runtimes are only linked-in into executables to address issue #64629.
(in previous design it was hard to avoid linking runtimes into static
libraries produced by rustc as demonstrated by sanitizer-staticlib-link
test, which still passes despite changes made in #64780).
