rustc_driver: get rid of the extra thread

**Do not rollup**

We can alter the stack size afterwards on Unix.

Having a separate thread causes poor debugging experience when interrupting with signals. I have to get the backtrace of the all thread, as the main thread is waiting to join doing nothing else. This patch allows me to just run `bt` to get the desired backtrace.
