Auto merge of rust-lang#120855 - bjorn3:split_metadata4, r=<try>

Introduce -Zsplit-metadata option

This will split the crate metadata out of library files. Instead only the svh and a bit of extra metadata is preserved to allow for loading the right rmeta file. This significantly reduces library size. In addition it allows for cheaper checks if different library files are the same crate.

A fair amount of the complexity in this PR is to work around the fact that cargo doesn't directly support this option yet.

Fixes rust-lang#23366
Fixes rust-lang#57076

Revives rust-lang#93945
