.stderr

#464
As uncovered in #183 and rust-lang/rust#116433, rustc's output - when run on our UI test files - differs depending on whether the
rust-src
component is installed for a given toolchain. As of #183, we require that component to be installed in CI, and so a developer testing or generating.stderr
files locally must also have it installed. It doesn't always get installed by default, which can be a source of confusion (the resulting error is mysterious and gives no hints thatrust-src
is the culprit).We should document this somewhere so that developers aren't confused.
