Unify cargo and rustc's error reporting
Fixesrust-lang/rust#86854.
## Don't print "run the command again with --verbose"
Here is a typical error seen by users of Cargo:
```
error[E0601]: `main` function not found in crate `wrong`
|
= note: consider adding a `main` function to `src/main.rs`
error: aborting due to previous error
For more information about this error, try `rustc --explain E0601`.
error: could not compile `wrong`
To learn more, run the command again with --verbose.
```
The `--verbose` output is not particularly helpful in this case. The
error is unrelated to what cargo is doing, and passing `--verbose` will
not give useful information about how to proceed. Additionally, it's
unclear that `--verbose` is referring to the cargo command and not
rustc; this is especially true when cargo is wrapped by another build
system (such as Meson, x.py, or Make).
This omits the "run the command again with --verbose" output. --verbose
is still shown in `cargo build --help`, but it's not singled out above
all the other options.
## Combine rustc and cargo's diagnostic summaries
This works by introspecting rustc's error output, using the JSON format
to determine whether it's a warning or error, then skipping it
altogether if it's a summary of the diagnostics printed.
Before:
```
$ cargo check --message-format short
src/main.rs:1:10: warning: trait objects without an explicit `dyn` are deprecated
src/main.rs:1:1: error[E0601]: `main` function not found in crate `wrong`
src/main.rs:1:9: error[E0038]: the trait `Clone` cannot be made into an object
error: aborting due to 2 previous errors; 1 warning emitted
error: could not compile `wrong`
```
After:
```
$ cargo check --message-format short
src/main.rs:1:10: warning: trait objects without an explicit `dyn` are deprecated
src/main.rs:1:1: error[E0601]: `main` function not found in crate `wrong`
src/main.rs:1:9: error[E0038]: the trait `Clone` cannot be made into an object
error: could not compile `wrong` due to 2 previous errors; 1 warning emitted
```
