rustc: implement argsfiles for command line

This makes `rustc` support `@path` arguments on the command line. The `path` is opened and the file is interpreted
as new command line options which are logically inserted at that point in the command-line. The options in the file
are one per line. The file is UTF-8 encoded, and may have either Unix or Windows line endings.
It does not support recursive use of `@path`.

This is useful for very large command lines, or when command-lines are being generated into files by other tooling.

 Note that it is invalid to combine the `--json` argument with the `--color`
 argument, and it is required to combine `--json` with `--error-format=json`.

+## `@path`: load command-line flags from a path
+
+If you specify `@path` on the command-line, then it will open `path` and read
+command line options from it. These options are one per line; a blank line indicates
+an empty option. The file can use Unix or Windows style line endings, and must be
+encoded as UTF-8.
