    rustbuild: Rewrite the configure script in Python · a9b0a7ba
    Alex Crichton authored
    This commit rewrites our ancient `./configure` script from shell into Python.
    The impetus for this change is to remove `config.mk` which is just a vestige of
    the old makefile build system at this point. Instead all configuration is now
    solely done through `config.toml`.
    
    The python script allows us to more flexibly program (aka we can use loops
    easily) and create a `config.toml` which is based off `config.toml.example`.
    This way we can preserve comments and munge various values as we see fit.
    
    It is intended that the configure script here is a drop-in replacement for the
    previous configure script, no functional change is intended. Also note that the
    rationale for this is also because our build system requires Python, so having a
    python script a bit earlier shouldn't cause too many problems.
    
    Closes #40730
