[PATCH] rust: restore parallel builds, disable lto only for rustdoc

[Alexander Kanavin <alex.kanavin@gmail.com>]

From: Alexander Kanavin <alex@linutronix.de>

The original reproducibility fix was problematic for a couple reasons:

- disabling both lto and parallel builds had an unfortunate effect of nearly
doubling rust-native and rust build times (which are slow to begin with).
Disabling lto hurts runtime performance too.

- both of these things were done for the *entire build*, while the only
problematic item is the librustdoc crate.

- lto=off option in config.toml has an effect only on building rustc
(the compiler itself), and doesn't help with rustdoc reproducibility.
Actual fix is the codegen-units setting, which indirectly disables
lto via giving llvm only one unit to work with at a time.

After some digging, here's a more targeted fix for the problem.

Why librustdoc is non-reproducible, but not anything else
remains a mystery, hidden deep in rust-llvm's lto optimization code.

+Subject: [PATCH] src/core/build_steps/tool.rs: switch off lto for rustdoc
+
+For reasons currently unknown, librustdoc binary ends up with
+non-reproducible .llvm.<number> suffixes in its symbols - but
+not any other binary.
+
+Disabling lto avoids creating these suffixes. More info about the option:
+https://doc.rust-lang.org/rustc/codegen-options/index.html#lto
+
+As seen below, there's a comment in the source tree saying not to tweak the options
+but this only creates a mix of lto and non-lto optimized binary objects from
+various crates, which should be safe to mix.
+
+Upstream-Status: Inappropriate [reported at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/134589]

-rust: rustdoc reproducibility issue fix

-The 'codegen-units' option split the crate into multiple compilation units for parallel compilation. Currently, this split is causing the rustdoc to generate differnt binary between the builds.
-To fix this the codegen-units & the lto options are disabled.
