Remove `ENABLE_DOWNLOAD_RUSTC` constant
This was introduced as part of the MVP for `download-rustc`.
Unfortunately, it doesn't work very well:

- Steps are ignored by default, which makes it easy to leave out a step
that should be built. For example, the MVP forgot to enable any tests,
so it was *only* possible to build locally.
- It didn't work correctly even when it was enabled: calling
  `builder.ensure()` would completely ignore the constant and rebuild the
  step anyway. This has no obvious fix since `ensure()` has to return a
  `Step::Output`.

Instead, this handles `download-rustc` in `impl Step for Rustc` and
`impl Step for Std`, which to my knowledge are the only build steps that
don't first go through `impl Step for Sysroot` (`Rustc` is used for
the `rustc-dev` component).

See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/79540#discussion_r563350075
and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/81930 for further context.

Here are some example runs with these changes and `download-rustc`
enabled:

```

Note a few things:

- Clippy depends on stage1 rustc-dev artifacts, but rustc didn't have to
  be recompiled. Instead, the artifacts were copied automatically.
- All steps are always enabled. There is no danger of forgetting a step,
  since only the entrypoints have to handle `download-rustc`.
- Building the compiler (`compiler/rustc`) automatically does no work.
