rustc: Don't read both rlib and dylib metadata

This is an optimization which is quite impactful for compiling small crates.
Reading libstd's metadata takes about 50ms, and a hello world before this change
took about 100ms (this change halves that time).

Recent changes made it such that this optimization wasn't performed, but I think
it's a better idea do to this for now. See #10786 for tracking this issue.
