Rollup merge of #75548 - dancrossnyc:master, r=tmandry

librustc_metadata::locator: Properly detect file type.

Make sure to test file types against the non-canonicalized name to
avoid detecting the wrong type.  Some systems save build artifacts
into associate file stores that do not preserve extensions, and
then link to those using conventionally-named symbolic links, that
are the arguments to `rustc` et al.  If we canonicalize before
testing the type, we resolve the symlink, the extension is
lost and we might treat rlibs and rmetas as dylibs.

The fix is to tntroduce a temporary to hold the canonicalized name,
compare against the non-canonical name, and add a comment
explaining what's going on for the would-be mainter who sees a
potential cleanup.
