To allow flags set on the builder with Build::flag/Build::flag_if_supported to override other flags, and to allow CFLAGS to override all other flags.

Found while doing #1401.

Now the order of flags are as follows, with later flags overriding previous ones. I've also here shown who "controls" which flag, to make it clear why we want the ordering to be like this.

  1. Default flags
    • Controlled by cc-rs.
  2. rustc-inherited flags
    • Controlled by rustc.
  3. Builder flags
    • Controlled by the developer using cc-rs in e.g. their build.rs.
  4. Environment flags
    • Controlled by the end user.

To allow flags set on the builder to override other flags, and to allow
CFLAGS to override _all_ other flags.

### 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?
