Build with pipelining enabled fails with `error: Unrecognized option: 'json-rendered'`

[dmit]

Problem
A new nightly cargo project failed to compile while the env variable CARGO_BUILD_PIPELINING was set to true.

>cargo build
    Updating crates.io index
   Compiling proc-macro2 v0.4.30
   Compiling winapi v0.3.7
   Compiling unicode-xid v0.1.0

   Compiling unicode-width v0.1.5
   Compiling unicode-segmentation v1.3.0
   Compiling vec_map v0.8.1

error: Unrecognized option: 'json-rendered'
error: Could not compile `vec_map`.

error: build failed

Unsetting the variable fixed the build error.

Steps

1. Clone https://github.com/dmit/cargo-pipeline-fail for a minimized repro, or create a new cargo project and add structopt 0.2 as a dependency
2. cargo build

Possible Solution(s)
The project only has a single dependency: structopt = "0.2". Brief testing with other dependency crates failed to trigger the problem. Since the failure only happens with build pipelining enabled, might possibly be caused by the topology of this particular dependency graph?

Pipelining is in the process of being stabilized. You can follow #7143 which is the Cargo side, I'll hopefully review it today. It then needs to make its way into nightly which can take anywhere from a couple days to a couple weeks.
