Don't synthesize feature diretives for non-optional deps

Currently when Cargo is invoked on the command like `cargo build
--features foo/bar` then it will actually always compile the current
crate with `feature = "foo"` even if `foo` is a non-optional dependency.
This isn't intended because the crate doesn't actually have a `foo`
feature as so no directive should be emitted or passed to the compiler.

This was discovered in rust-lang/rust where Cargo is being built with
the `rustc-workspace-hack` feature but when the RLS depends on Cargo it
doesn't enable the same feature. This feature, however, doesn't actually
exist for Cargo!
