This PR should make it easier to create a baseline x86 compiler as well as make cross-compilation possible through a separate set of rlibs.

Plus, a few Linux distributions (e.g. Debian) have voiced interest in having this target available.

Thanks for the pull request, and welcome! The Rust team is excited to review your changes, and you should hear from @arielb1 (or someone else) soon.

If any changes to this PR are deemed necessary, please add them as extra commits. This ensures that the reviewer can see what has changed since they last reviewed the code. Due to the way GitHub handles out-of-date commits, this should also make it reasonably obvious what issues have or haven't been addressed. Large or tricky changes may require several passes of review and changes.

Please see the contribution instructions for more information.

Similarly to rust-lang#31629 where an i586-unknown-linux-gnu target was added, there is
sometimes a desire to compile for x86 Windows as well where SSE2 is disabled.
This commit mirrors the i586-unknown-linux-gnu target and simply adds a variant
for Windows as well.

This is motivated by a recent [Gecko bug][ff] where crashes were seen on 32-bit
Windows due to users having CPUs that don't support SSE2 instructions. It was
requested that we could have non-SSE2 builds of the standard library available
so they could continue to use vanilla releases and nightlies.
