Auto merge of #9322 - jameshilliard:split-host, r=joshtriplett

Configure hosts separately from targets when --target is specified.

This prevents target configs from accidentally being picked up when cross compiling from hosts that have the same architecture as their targets.

closes #3349

+The `target-applies-to-host` key in a config file can be used set the desired
+behavior for passing target config flags to build scripts.
+
+It requires the `-Ztarget-applies-to-host` command-line option.
+
+The current default for `target-applies-to-host` is `true`, which will be
+changed to `false` in the future, if `-Zhost-config` is used the new `false`
+default will be set for `target-applies-to-host`.
+
+```toml
+# config.toml

+
+The `host` key in a config file can be used pass flags to host build targets
+such as build scripts that must run on the host system instead of the target
+system when cross compiling. It supports both generic and host arch specific
+tables. Matching host arch tables take precedence over generic host tables.
+
+It requires the `-Zhost-config` and `-Ztarget-applies-to-host` command-line
+options to be set.
+
+```toml
+# config.toml
+[host]
+linker = "/path/to/host/linker"
+[host.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
+linker = "/path/to/host/arch/linker"
+[target.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu]
+linker = "/path/to/target/linker"
+```
+
+The generic `host` table above will be entirely ignored when building on a
+`x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` host as the `host.x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu` table
+takes precedence.
+
+Setting `-Zhost-config` changes the default for `target-applies-to-host` to
+`false` from `true`.
+
+```console
+cargo +nightly -Ztarget-applies-to-host -Zhost-config build --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
