This commit removes all infrastructure from the repository for our so-called
snapshots to instead bootstrap the compiler from stable releases. Bootstrapping
from a previously stable release is a long-desired feature of distros because
they're not fans of downloading binary stage0 blobs from us. Additionally, this
makes our own CI easier as we can decommission all of the snapshot builders and
start having a regular cadence to when we update the stage0 compiler.
A new `src/etc/get-stage0.py` script was added which shares some code with
`src/bootstrap/bootstrap.py` to read a new file, `src/stage0.txt`, which lists
the current stage0 compiler as well as cargo that we bootstrap from. This script
will download the relevant `rustc` package an unpack it into `$target/stage0` as
we do today.
One problem of bootstrapping from stable releases is that we're not able to
compile unstable code (e.g. all the `#![feature]` directives in libcore/libstd).
To overcome this we employ two strategies:
* The bootstrap key of the previous compiler is hardcoded into `src/stage0.txt`
(enabled as a result of #32731) and exported by the build system. This enables
nightly features in the compiler we download.
* The standard library and compiler are pinned to a specific stage0, which
doesn't change, so we're guaranteed that we'll continue compiling as we start
from a known fixed source.
The process for making a release will also need to be tweaked now to continue to
cadence of bootstrapping from the previous release. This process looks like:
1. Merge `beta` to `stable`
2. Produce a new stable compiler.
3. Change `master` to bootstrap from this new stable compiler.
4. Merge `master` to `beta`
5. Produce a new beta compiler
6. Change `master` to bootstrap from this new beta compiler.
Step 3 above should involve very few changes as `master` was previously
bootstrapping from `beta` which is the same as `stable` at that point in time.
Step 6, however, is where we benefit from removing lots of `#[cfg(stage0)]` and
get to use new features. This also shouldn't slow the release too much as steps
1-5 requires little work other than waiting and step 6 just needs to happen at
some point during a release cycle, it's not time sensitive.

This splits mk/stageN.mk into host.mk and target.mk and makes
the build rules somewhat simpler - there's no more building from stageN
into stageN+1; instead we always build from stageN(host) to
stageN(target) then promote from stageN(target) to stageN+1(host).
Add a big honkin explaination right at the top of Makefile.in

This defines variables for host bin and lib directories as well as all target
bin and lib directories then uses them everywhere.

Snapshotting main.o is going to make it easier (I think) to convert main to
use ivecs

You can't build libstd both with stage0 and stage1 if the two are incompatible
This is probably temporary
