Do not pass native deps to rlib compilations (#576)
When creating an rlib artifact, rustc will open every
native static library and "copy" its contents into the rlib. This
results in a quadratic disk usage growth and that's not necessary for
rules_rust because we track native dependencies are we can safely pass
them to the final linking actions.
This fixes the build failure when a native dep is actually a linker
script. Rustc will try to open the linker script as if it was a static
archive, and then fail the build.
Creating shared library artifacts (dylib, cdylib) and binaries is not
affected, for those rustc uses the linker, and linker will consume the
linker script just fine. Rustc won't try to open/interpret the linker
script itself.
This also unblocks https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust/pull/562.
