Rollup merge of rust-lang#102581 - jyn514:src-detection, r=Mark-Simulacrum

Make the `config.src` handling for downloadable bootstrap more conservative

In particular, this supports build directories within an unrelated git repository. Fixes rust-lang#102562.

As a side effect, it will fall back to the old logic when the source directory is being built from a tarball within an unrelated git repository. However, that second case is unsupported and untested; we reserve the right to break it in the future.

`@cr1901` can you confirm this fixes your problem?
cc `@kleisauke,` I believe this will also fix your issue (although your use case still isn't supported).
