Add global_cache_tracker stability tests.
This adds some tests to ensure that the database used in the global cache tracker stays compatible across versions. These tests work by using rustup to run both the current cargo and the stable cargo, and verifying that when switching versions, everything works as expected.
These tests will be ignored on developer environments if they don't have rustup, or don't have the stable toolchain installed. It does assume that "stable" is at least 1.76. It is required for the tests to run in CI, but will be disabled in rust-lang/rust since it does not have rustup.
I'm not expecting too much trouble with these tests, but if they become too fiddly or broken, they can always be changed or removed.
The support code for running "cargo +stable" is very basic right now. If we expand to add similar tests in the future, then I think we could consider adding support functions (such as [`tc_process`](https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/64ccff290fe20e2aa7c04b9c71460a7fd962ea61/tests/testsuite/old_cargos.rs#L21-L36)) to make it easier or more reliable.
