Rollup merge of #133041 - madsmtm:print-deployment-target-env-var, r=davidtwco
Print name of env var in `--print=deployment-target`

The deployment target environment variable is OS-specific, and if you're in a place where you're asking `rustc` for the deployment target, you're likely to also wanna know the name of the environment variable. I myself wanted this for some code I'm working on in bootstrap, for example.

Behaviour before this PR:
```console
$ rustc --print=deployment-target --target=aarch64-apple-darwin
deployment_target=11.0
$ rustc --print=deployment-target --target=aarch64-apple-visionos
deployment_target=1.0
```

Behaviour after this PR:
```console
$ rustc --print=deployment-target --target=aarch64-apple-darwin
MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=11.0
$ rustc --print=deployment-target --target=aarch64-apple-visionos
XROS_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=1.0
```

My _belief_ is that this option is extremely rarely used in general, and a GitHub search for "rustc print deployment-target" seems to confirm this, it revealed only the following actual pieces of code using this:
- b292ef6934/src/build_context.rs (L1199-L1220)
- daab9244b0/src/lib.rs (L3422-L3426)

`maturin` does `.split('=').last()`, so it will continue to work after this change, but `cc v1.0.84` did `.strip_prefix("deployment_target=")` since [this PR](https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs/pull/848), so it would break. That's _probably_ fine though, it was broken in a lot of scenarios anyway, and [got](https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs/pull/901) [reverted](https://github.com/rust-lang/cc-rs/pull/943) in `v1.0.85`.

So while this is _technically_ a breaking change, I really doubt that anyone is going to observe it, so it's probably fine.

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.
