Make the c feature for compiler-builtins opt-in instead of inferred

The build script for `compiler_builtins` doesn't support cross-compilation. I tried fixing it, but the cc crate itself
doesn't appear to support cross-compiling to windows either unless you use the -gnu toolchain:
```
  error occurred: Failed to find tool. Is `lib.exe` installed?
```

Rather than trying to fix it or special-case the platforms without bugs,
make it opt-in instead of automatic.
