auto merge of #21113 : alexcrichton/rust/plug-a-hole, r=brson
With the addition of separate search paths to the compiler, it was intended that
applications such as Cargo could require a `--extern` flag per `extern crate`
directive in the source. The system can currently be subverted, however, due to
the `existing_match()` logic in the crate loader.

When loading crates we first attempt to match an `extern crate` directive
against all previously loaded crates to avoid reading metadata twice. This "hit
the cache if possible" step was erroneously leaking crates across the search
path boundaries, however. For example:

    extern crate b;
    extern crate a;

If `b` depends on `a`, then it will load crate `a` when the `extern crate b`
directive is being processed. When the compiler reaches `extern crate a` it will
use the previously loaded version no matter what. If the compiler was not
invoked with `-L crate=path/to/a`, it will still succeed.

This behavior is allowing `extern crate` declarations in Cargo without a
corresponding declaration in the manifest of a dependency, which is considered
a bug.

This commit fixes this problem by keeping track of the origin search path for a
crate. Crates loaded from the dependency search path are not candidates for
crates which are loaded from the crate search path.
