Add `try_canonicalize` to `rustc_fs_util` and use it over `fs::canonicalize`
This adds `try_canonicalize` which tries to call `fs::canonicalize`, but falls back to `std::path::absolute` if it fails. Existing `canonicalize` calls are replaced with it. `fs::canonicalize` is not guaranteed to work on Windows.
This code and comment appear to be out of date.
`CrateLocator::find_library_crate` is the only caller of this function
and it handles rlib vs dylib overlap itself (see
`CrateLocator::extract_lib`) after inspecting all the files present, so
it doesn't need to see them in any particular order.
Fix rustc sysroot in systems using CAS
Change filesearch::get_or_default_sysroot() to check if sysroot is found using env::args().next() if rustc in argv[0] is a symlink; otherwise, or if it is not found, use env::current_exe() to imply sysroot. This makes the rustc binary able to locate Rust libraries in systems using content-addressable storage (CAS).

In particular, this allows us to write more explicit matches that
avoid the pitfalls of using a fully general fall-through case, yet
remain fairly ergonomic. Less logic is in guard cases, more is in
the actual exhaustive case analysis.
No functional changes.
