Rollup merge of #76628 - jyn514:default-config-files, r=Mark-Simulacrum

Add sample defaults for config.toml

- Allow including defaults in `src/bootstrap/defaults` using `profile = "..."`.
- Add default config files, with a README noting they're experimental and asking you to open an issue if you run into trouble. The config files have comments explaining why the defaults are set.
- Combine config files using the `merge` dependency.

This introduces a new dependency on `merge` that hasn't yet been vetted.

I want to improve the output when `include = "x"` isn't found:

```
thread 'main' panicked at 'fs::read_to_string(&file) failed with No such file or directory (os error 2) ("configuration file did not exist")', src/bootstrap/config.rs:522:28
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
failed to run: /home/joshua/rustc/build/bootstrap/debug/bootstrap test tidy
Build completed unsuccessfully in 0:00:00
```

However that seems like it could be fixed in a follow-up.

Closes #76619

+These defaults are intended to be a good starting point for working with x.py,
+with the understanding that no one set of defaults make sense for everyone.
+
+They are still experimental, and we'd appreciate your help improving them!
+If you use a setting that's not in these defaults that you think others would benefit from, please [file an issue] or make a PR with the changes.
+Similarly, if one of these defaults doesn't match what you use personally,
