Add build script warnings, streaming output from build scripts to the console #2630

These commits add a few features to Cargo:

  • Cargo now recognizes the warning key in build scripts and will print warnings after a build script has completed if the build script is for a path dependency. That is, if a build script prints cargo:warning=foo then Cargo will forward that to the console if the crate's being developed.
  • Cargo now accepts multiple -v flags for all commands. The -vv flag prints warnings for all upstream crates, not just the local ones.
  • When the -vv flag is passed Cargo will stream the output of all build scripts to the console, allowing more easy debugging of what happened if the build fails later on.

More details can be found in each commit, and otherwise this

Closes #1106

Discussed during the tools triage yesterday, it was concluded that this seems like good functionality to have, but it also shows more need to targeting configuration at certain portions of the dependency graph (perhaps in the form of command line arguments)

This adds support for forwarding warnings from build scripts to the main console
for diagnosis. A new `warning` metadata key is recognized by Cargo and is
printed after a build script has finished executing.

The purpose of this key is for build dependencies to try to produce useful
warnings for local crates being developed. For example a parser generator could
emit warnings about ambiguous grammars or the gcc crate could print warnings
about the C/C++ code that's compiled.

Warnings are only emitted for path dependencies by default (like lints) so
warnings printed in crates.io crates are suppressed.

cc rust-lang#1106
This commit modifies the CLI interface to allow the verbose (-v) flag to be
specified multiple times. This'll be used soon to have `-vv` indicate that more
output should be generated than `-v` during a normal build.

Currently this commit changes the behavior of whether warnings are printed to
print warnings for the **entire DAG of dependencies** if `-vv` is specified.
That is, `--cap-lints` is never passed nor is any warning from build scripts if
`-vv` is specified.
This commit alters Cargo's behavior when the `-vv` option is passed (two verbose
flags) to stream output of all build scripts to the console. Cargo makes not
attempt to prevent interleaving or indicate *which* build script is producing
output, rather it simply forwards all output to one to the console.

Cargo still acts as a middle-man, capturing the output, to parse build script
output and interpret the results. The parsing is still deferred to completion
but the stream output happens while the build script is running.

On Unix this is implemented via `select` and on Windows this is implemented via
IOCP.

Closes rust-lang#1106

Does this still work?

I am trying to debug a build script by passing -vv without any luck :/

This PR is over a year old at this point so it's best to open an issue with a reproduction if it's not working
