bootstrap: temporarily flip `compile::Rustc` vs `compile::Assemble`

The PathSet prefix matching unfortunately also has implications for `./x
build compiler`, because the path filter `"compiler"` gets consumed by
`compile::Rustc` step first after PathSet prefix matching, whereas
before PathSet prefix matching, the later-registered `compile::Assemble`
step would've consumed the `"compiler"` path filter.

This merely papers over the issue with PathSet prefix handling to
unblock contributors for using `./x build compiler`.
