Disallow setting some built-in cfg via set the command-line
This PR disallow users from setting some built-in cfg via set the command-line in order to prevent incoherent state, eg. `windows` cfg active but target is Linux based.
This implements MCP rust-lang/compiler-team#610, with the caveat that we disallow cfgs no matter if they make sense or not, since I don't think it's useful to allow users to set a cfg that will be set anyway. It also complicates the implementation.
------
The `explicit_builtin_cfgs_in_flags` lint detects builtin cfgs set via the `--cfg` flag.
*(deny-by-default)*
### Example
```text
rustc --cfg unix
```
```rust,ignore (needs command line option)
fn main() {}
```
This will produce:
```text
error: unexpected `--cfg unix` flag
|
= note: config `unix` is only supposed to be controlled by `--target`
= note: manually setting a built-in cfg can and does create incoherent behaviours
= note: `#[deny(explicit_builtin_cfgs_in_flags)]` on by default
```
### Explanation
Setting builtin cfgs can and does produce incoherent behaviour, it's better to the use the appropriate `rustc` flag that controls the config. For example setting the `windows` cfg but on Linux based target.
