Add `minicore` test auxiliary and support `//@ add-core-stubs` directive in ui/assembly/codegen tests

Context: [Real cross-compiling tests instead of `#![no_core]` silliness #130375](#130375)

This prototype PR is subject to further changes based on feedback.

### New `minicore` test auxiliary and `//@ add-core-stubs` compiletest directive

This PR introduces a prototype implementation of a `minicore` auxiliary test helper that provides `core` stubs for `#![no_core]` ui/assembly/codegen tests that need to build but not run on both the host platform and the cross-compiled target platform.

Key summary:

- `tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs` contains stub definitions of `core` items intended for consumption by `check-pass`/`build-pass` tests that want the typical prelude items like `Copy` to be stubbed out under `#![no_core]` scenarios, so that the test can be built (not run) for cross-compiled target platforms. Such tests don't want nor need full `-Z build-std` (e.g. `tests/ui/abi/compatibility.rs`).
- `minicore` is intended for `core` items **only**, not `std`- or `alloc`-exclusive items. If stubs for `alloc` or `std` are wanted, they should be provided by an additional directive and test auxiliary, and not be conflated with `minicore` or `core` stubs. This is because a wider range of tests can benefit from `core`-only stubs.

### Implementation

- The `minicore` auxiliary is a single source file `tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs`.
- The path to `minicore` is made avaiable from bootstrap to compiletest via the `--minicore-path` compiletest flag.
- `minicore` is then built on-demand via the `//@ add-core-stubs` compiletest directive, for each test revision for the given target platform (this distinction is important for when host platform != target platform in cross-compilation scenario).
- `minicore` is then made available to the test as an [extern prelude].

[extern prelude]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/names/preludes.html#extern-prelude

### Example usage

```rs
// tests/ui/abi/my-abi-test.rs

//@ check-pass
//@ add-core-stubs
//@ compile-flags: --target i686-unknown-linux-gnu
//@ needs-llvm-components: x86

#![feature(no_core, lang_items)]
#![no_std]
#![no_core]
#![allow(unused, internal_features)]

extern crate minicore;
use minicore::*;

#[lang = "clone"]
pub trait Clone: Sized {      // `Sized` is provided by `minicore`
    fn clone(&self) -> Self;
}
```

### Implementation steps

- [x] 1. Add an initial `minicore` test auxiliary.
- [x] 2. Build `minicore` in bootstrap.
- [x] 3. Setup a `--minicore-path` compiletest cli flag and pass `minicore` build artifact path from bootstrap to compiletest.
- [x] 4. Assert `add-core-stubs` is mutually incompatible with tests that require to be `run`, as the stubs are only good for tests that only need to be built (i.e. no `run-{pass,fail}`).
- [x] 5. Add some self-tests to sanity check the behavior.
- [x] 6. Ensure that `tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs` is input stamped, i.e. modifying `tests/auxiliary/minicore.rs` should invalidate test cache and force the test to be rerun.

### Known limitations

- The current `minicore` is very minimal, because this PR is intended to focus on supporting the test infrastructure first. Further stubs could be added in follow-up PRs and/or on a as-needed basis.
