7891: Improve handling of rustc_private r=matklad a=DJMcNab

This PR changes how `rust-analyzer` handles `rustc_private`. In particular, packages now must opt-in to using `rustc_private` in `Cargo.toml`, by adding:
```toml
[package.metadata.rust-analyzer]
rustc_private=true
```

This means that depending on crates which also use `rustc_private` will be significantly improved, since their dependencies on the `rustc_private` crates will be resolved properly.

A similar approach could be used in #6714 to allow annotating that your package uses the `test` crate, although I have not yet handled that in this PR.

Additionally, we now only index the crates which are transitive dependencies of `rustc_driver` in the `rustcSource` directory. This should not cause any change in behaviour when using `rustcSource: "discover"`, as the source used then will only be a partial clone. However, if `rustcSource` pointing at a local checkout of rustc, this should significantly improve the memory usage and lower indexing time. This is because we avoids indexing all crates in `src/tools/`, which includes `rust-analyzer` itself.

Furthermore, we also prefer named dependencies over dependencies from `rustcSource`. This ensures that feature resolution for crates which are depended on by both `rustc` and your crate uses the correct set for analysing your crate.

I have tested this in [priroda](https://github.com/oli-obk/priroda/), and it provides a significant improvement to the development experience (once I give `miri` the required data in `Cargo.toml`)

Todo:
- [ ] Documentation

This is ready to review, and I will add documentation if this would be accepted (or if I get time to do so anyway)

rust-analyzer

Provides support for rust-analyzer: novel LSP server for the Rust programming language.

Note the extension may cause conflicts with the official Rust extension. It is recommended to disable the Rust extension when using the rust-analyzer extension.

Note the project is in alpha status: it is already useful in practice, but can't be considered stable.
