Allow invoking all help options at once

Implements rust-lang/rust#150442

Help messages are printed in the order they are invoked, but only once (e.g. `--help -C help --help` prints regular help then codegen help).

Lint groups (`-Whelp`) are always printed last due to necessarily coming later in the compiler pipeline.

Adds `help` flags to `-C` and `-Z` to avoid an error in `build_session_options`.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
