Inject -Cincremental=<output_base>/.rustc_incremental_cache/... into rustc via process_wrapper when the new //rust/settings:experimental_rustc_incremental flag is set.

Non-hermetic and local-only by design. The setting docstring documents the required --strategy=Rustc=local,
--strategy=RustcMetadata=local, and --remote_upload_local_results=false recipe, plus the codegen-units runtime-perf caveat.

Local benchmarking shows warm incremental rebuilds working & performing on-par with cargo

Inject -Cincremental=<output_base>/.rustc_incremental_cache/...
into rustc via process_wrapper when the new
//rust/settings:experimental_rustc_incremental flag is set. Cache
is keyed on rustc path, target, crate name, edition, action kind
(full vs hollow-metadata), and a stable hash of compilation-
relevant flags; argfiles are expanded at key-compute time so the
values survive Bazel's param-file rewrite.

Non-hermetic and local-only by design. The setting docstring
documents the required --strategy=Rustc=local,
--strategy=RustcMetadata=local, and
--remote_upload_local_results=false recipe, plus the
