Include package props with env vars into target metadata

Previously, when changing package properties with corresponding
environment variables (such as authors, which has CARGO_PKG_AUTHORS),
it didn't invalidate the build, even though there could have been
a dependency on such variables in the source code.

This commit includes such properties (there are 3 of them in total:
authors, description and homepage) in the target metadata.

Fixes rust-lang#3696.
