changed the title
RUSTFLAGS now have precedence over bootstrap own flags and not the other way around.

I addressed all the nits. Also reworded the commit and PR title to better match the updated change description in the tracker. |

Rollup merge of #148911 - karolzwolak:bootstrap-rustflags-precedence, r=Kobzol Make flags from `*FLAGS*` (such as `RUSTFLAGS`) env. vars. have precedence over flags set by bootstrap Before this PR extra flags from env variables like `RUSTFLAGS` had lower precedence than bootstrap flags. This PR changes that, and tus makes overriding flags passed to the compiler easier and more reliable. This is technically a breaking change — but it only affects people using these env variables. This change was [discussed on zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/326414-t-infra.2Fbootstrap/topic/Precedence.20of.20RUSTFLAGS.20in.20bootstrap/with/554903280) by members of bootstrap team. r? `@Kobzol`
