This PR adds a new test to bootstrap (not executed by default at the moment) that checks the API compatibility of the standard library using the https://github.com/obi1kenobi/cargo-semver-checks tool.

The command can be executed using x test std-semver-check.

(Note: I realized that x dist rust-docs-json executed twice in a row invalidates Cargo cache for some reason, that is a separate issue though).

The test is not yet executed on CI, I would do that in a separate PR (maybe pending a t-libs FCP or something).

The test checks that c-s-c is installed, and then uses git to lookup a parent baseline commit (in a future extension, we should make the baseline commit be configurable through config.toml). Then it downloads the corresponding rust-docs-json component of that commit from CI and extracts it. It generates the same JSON docs component from local sources, and then runs c-s-c on those two JSON files to compare their API.

Output when API stability is broken:

Avoid spurious rebuilds of JSON docs in bootstrap

Found this while working on rust-lang#159671.

Before, repeated runs of e.g. `x dist rust-docs-json` always rebuilt the docs. It was caused by Cargo not knowing that the output should be JSON, so it was trying to find the HTML files.

Instead of passing the output format through `RUSTDOCFLAGS`, which Cargo doesn't inspect, we now pass it to Cargo directly, which fixes the issue.
