Auto merge of rust-lang#97268 - jyn514:faster-assemble, r=Mark-Simulacrum
Make "Assemble stage1 compiler" orders of magnitude faster (take 2)
This used to take upwards of 5 seconds for me locally. I found that the culprit was copying the downloaded LLVM shared object:
```
[22:28:03] Install "/home/jnelson/rust-lang/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/ci-llvm/lib/libLLVM-14-rust-1.62.0-nightly.so" to "/home/jnelson/rust-lang/rust/build/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/stage1/lib/rustlib/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/lib/libLLVM-14-rust-1.62.0-nightly.so"
[22:28:09] c Sysroot { compiler: Compiler { stage: 1, host: x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu(x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu) } }
```
It turned out that `install()` used full copies unconditionally. Change it to try using a hard-link before falling back to copying.
- Panic if we generate a symbolic link in a tarball
- Change install to use copy internally, like in my previous PR
- Change copy to dereference symbolic links, which avoids the previous regression in rust-lang#96803.
I also took the liberty of fixing `x dist llvm-tools` to work even if you don't call `x build` previously.
