Joshua Nelson 32e07fe2bf Explain stages in terms of the compiler currently running (take N+1) (#857)
* Explain stages in terms of the compiler currently running

- Address some confusing points
  + stage N+1 -> stage N artifacts
  + Use more likely examples of an ABI break
  + stage N -> stage N compiler

- Mention why rustc occasionally uses `cfg(bootstrap)`
- Note that stage1 is built using two different versions

- Add lots of examples
  + `test src/test/ui` and `test compiler/rustc` run different compilers 😢
  + Separate examples of what to do from examples of what not to do

- 'ship stage 1 artifacts' -> 'ship stage 2 compiler'

  This is hopefully less confusing.

* build -> x.py build

* Add section on build artifacts

* Improve wording
