Do not hash absolute sysroot path into stdlib crates metadata.
stdlib crates get a SourceId which has an absolute path pointing into the sysroot. This
makes the metadata hash change depending on where you've installed Rust. This is causing
problems because the different hashes snowball into the optimizer making different
decisions which ends up changing the binary size.
(Some context: at work we're working with embedded devices with little flash storage
so it often happens that a binary builds locally and then fails to fit in flash in CI,
just because CI has installed rustc to a different path. Improving binary size is
*not* a goal of this PR, after the fix the size will be whatever, but at least it
won't change based on the rustc path anymore)
Overview of the fix:
- For libstd crates, the metadata hash now contains the path relative to the sysroot, instead of the absolute path.
- The absolute path is still hashed into the fingerprint (not the metadata) so moving the rustc installation triggers a rebuild. This ensures stdlib crates are rebuilt when upgrading nightly versions.
- The rustc version is still hashed into the metadata as usual, so upgrading Rust releases (not nightly versions) does cause a metadata change.
