Bump cc to 1.2.16 to fix x86 windows jobs in rust-lang/rust CI (#…

### What does this PR try to resolve?

GitHub Runner Images 20250224.5.0+ ship Windows 11 SDK 10.0.26100+
compared to the previous Windows 11 SDK 10.0.22621, which bumped the
UCRT headers. The new UCRT headers use SSE2 types. However, `cc`
versions <= 1.2.15 emit `/arch:IA32` for `x86` Windows targets for
`clang-cl`, which causes compilation errors since `clang-cl` can't find
SSE2 types without `/arch:SSE2` specified (or defaulted). (Note that
MSVC at the time of writing silently accepts and emits instruments for
code using SSE2 types, as opposed to `clang-cl` hard error-ing).

`cc` 1.2.16 contains a fix for this problem,
rust-lang/cc-rs#1425, to correctly emit
`/arch:SSE2` instead of `/arch:IA32` to enable `clang-cl` to find the
SSE2 types. However, cargo's `cc` currently is still on 1.2.13.

To fix this for rust-lang/rust CI, we need to bump anything that
transitively relies on `cc` and tries to use `clang-cl` on `x86` Windows
targets to compile any C/C++ code that transitively use functions or
types that require SSE2 types, such as `<wchar.h>`.

### How should we test and review this PR?

The fix was initially intended for `rustc_{codegen_ssa,llvm}` `cc`, and
based on testing in rust-lang/rust#137724, I was
able to successfully build `rustc_{codegen_ssa,llvm}` with a forked `cc`
based on 1.2.15 which contains the fix from
rust-lang/cc-rs#1425. Note that in the same PR,
while the compiler build succeeded, the build of cargo itself failed
since it transitively used a `cc` *without* the fix to build
`curl-sys`[^dep-chain], which failed as one might expect (`curl-sys`
tries to build C code that uses `<wchar.h>` which runs into the same
problem). Hence, this PR is opened to bump cargo's `cc` to a `cc`
version containing the fix.

[^dep-chain]: I think the dep chain is something like git2 ->
libgit2-sys -> curl -> curl-sys?
