Reduce usage of `compiler_for` in bootstrap While working on refactoring/fixing `dist` steps, I realized that `build.full-bootstrap` does much more than it should, and that it its documentation is wrong. It seems that the main purpose of this option should be to enable/disable stdlib/compiler uplifting (https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/326414-t-infra.2Fbootstrap/topic/Purpose.20of.20.60build.2Efull-bootstrap.60/with/533985624), but currently it also affects staging, or more precisely which compiler will be used to build selected steps, because this option is used in the cursed `compiler_for` function. I would like to change the option it so that it *only* affects uplifting, and doesn't affect stage selection, which I (partially) did in this PR. I removed the usage of `compiler_for` from the `Std` and `Rustc` steps, and explicitly implemented uplifting, without going through `compiler_for`. The only remaining usages of `compiler_for` are in dist steps (which I'm currently refactoring, will send a PR later) and test steps (which I will take a look at after dist). After that we can finally remove the function. I tried to document the case when uplifting was happening during cross-compilation, which was very implicit before. I also did a slight change in the uplifting logic for rustc when cross-compiling. Before, we would attempt to uplift a stage1 rustc, but that is not really a thing when cross-compiling. r? `@jieyouxu` |

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
