Chandler Carruth 82e4c3a8af Add response file expansion to the busybox and improve -Xcarbon (#6750)
When the response file contains the subcommand itself, or when there are
`-Xcarbon` flags within the response file that we need to re-organize,
we need to hoist the expansion into the busybox itself.

I've left the response file expansion in the `ClangRunner` so that
library users can still use them, including in the VFS of the runner.

It's also useful to handle `-Xcarbon`-style flags even when using
subcommands rather than a symlink to the busybox: build systems often
have a facility to append flags, but appending doesn't let us inject
flags easily into the `carbon` driver itself. So this PR moves the
`-Xcarbon` reorganization to happen in all cases, and to insert them
before the first subcommand or positional parameter. When teaching Bazel
to link by running `carbon link ...` commands, this lets us do things
like `bazel build --linkopt=-Xcarbon=-v` to enable verbose logging.

I've not added a test here as we don't really have much testing of the
busybox. I can move the current symlinks test to be more of an
integration test of the busybox logic if desired, but would be a
somewhat larger change and maybe worth separating out. This will end up
tested in the Bazel example in a subsequent PR that starts using it in
the installed crosstool configuration.
