Auto merge of #140786 - Kobzol:try-builds-no-deny-warnings, r=jieyouxu
Do not deny warnings in "fast" try builds

When we do the classic ``@bors` try` build without specifying `try-job` in the PR description, we want to get a compiler toolchain for perf./crater/local experimentation as fast as possible. We don't run any tests in that case, so it seems reasonable to also ignore warnings.

Fixes: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/140753

+By default, if you send a comment with `@bors try`, the jobs defined in the `try` section of

 Each pattern can either be an exact name of a job or a glob pattern that matches multiple jobs,
 for example `*msvc*` or `*-alt`. You can start at most 20 jobs in a single try build. When using
