Make rustc use `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` by default

Compiler panics should be rare - when they do occur, we want the report
filed by the user to contain as much information as possible. This is
especially important when the panic is due to an incremental compilation
bug, since we may not have enough information to reproduce it.

This PR sets `RUST_BACKTRACE=full` inside `rustc` if the user has not
explicitly set `RUST_BACKTRACE`. This is more verbose than
`RUST_BACKTRACE=1`, but this may make it easier to debug incremental
compilation issues. Users who find this too verbose can still manually
set `RUST_BACKTRACE` before invoking the compiler.

This only affects `rustc` (and any tool using `rustc_driver::install_ice_hook`).
It does *not* affect any user crates or the standard library -
backtraces will continue to be off by default in any application
*compiled* by rustc.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
