Auto merge of #120803 - onur-ozkan:fix-compilation-cache, r=Mark-Simulacrum

always run `configure_linker` except for mir-opt tests

`configure_linker` now runs consistently unless it's for mir-opt tests. Previously `!= "check"` condition was causing dirt in the cargo cache between runs of `x anything-but-not-check` and `x check`.

 Fixes #120768

-        // option is the compiler's current interface to generating an rpath.
-        // Unfortunately it doesn't quite suffice for us. The flag currently
-        // takes no value as an argument, so the compiler calculates what it
-        // should pass to the linker as `-rpath`. This unfortunately is based on
