Add the unstable option  to reduce the binary size of dynamic library…

# Motivation

The average length of symbol names in the rust standard library is about 100 bytes, while the average length of symbol names in the C++ standard library is about 65 bytes. In some embedded environments where dynamic library are widely used, rust dynamic library symbol name space hash become one of the key bottlenecks of application, Especially when the existing C/C++ module is reconstructed into the rust module.

The unstable option `-Z symbol_mangling_version=hashed` is added to solve the bottleneck caused by too long dynamic library symbol names.

## Test data

The following is a set of test data on the ubuntu 18.04 LTS environment. With this plug-in, the space saving rate of dynamic libraries can reach about 20%.

The test object is the standard library of rust (built based on Xargo), tokio crate, and hyper crate.

The contents of the Cargo.toml file in the construction project of the three dynamic libraries are as follows:

```txt
# Cargo.toml
[profile.release]
panic = "abort"
opt-leve="z"
codegen-units=1
strip=true
debug=true
```
The built dynamic library also removes the `.rustc` segments that are not needed at run time and then compares the size. The detailed data is as follows:

1. libstd.so
> | symbol_mangling_version | size | saving rate |
> | --- | --- | --- |
> | legacy | 804896 ||
> | hashed | 608288 | 0.244 |
> | v0 | 858144 ||
> | hashed | 608288 | 0.291 |

2. libhyper.so
> | symbol_mangling_version(libhyper.so) | symbol_mangling_version(libstd.so) | size | saving rate |
> | --- | --- | --- | --- |
> | legacy | legacy | 866312 ||
> | hashed | legacy | 645128 |0.255|
> | legacy | hashed | 854024 ||
> | hashed | hashed | 632840 |0.259|
