Include Cargo rustc configuration in probe

Without this, environments that configure `RUSTFLAGS` or the
`RUSTC_WRAPPER` in ways that break compilation with `backtrace` will
fail to compile anyhow (see dtolnay#156).

With this, the compiler probe takes into account that Cargo
configuration, and thus (more) accurately represents whether the
`backtrace` feature can be safely enabled.

Requires rust-lang/cargo#9601, but does not break without.

Fixes dtolnay#156.
