Yann E. MORIN 59b2e826f2 support/download: fix the cargo post-process in face of failed vendoring
In commit 04154a6517 (support/download/cargo-post-process: cargo
output for vendor config), we switched away from our hand-crafted
cargo.toml mangling, to use cargo itself to update that file.

In doing so, we enabled the shell pipefail option, so that we could
catch cargo failures, while redirecting its output through tee to the
cargo.toml.

However, pipefail is overzealous, and will hit us even for pipes we do
not want to globally fail, like the one that actually checks whether an
archive is already vendored or not:

    if tar tf "${output}" | grep -q "^[^/]*/VENDOR" ; then
        ...

with pipefail, the above may always fail:
  - if the tarball is already vendored, grep will exit on the first
    match because of -q (it only needs a single match to decide that its
    return code will be zero), so the | will get closed, and tar may
    get -EPIPE before it had a chance to finish listing the archive, and
    thus would terminate in error;
  - if the tarball is not vendored, grep will exit in error.

It turns out that the tee was only added so that we could see the
messages emitted by cargo, and still fill the cargo.tom with the output
of cargo.

But that's a bit overkill: the cargo messages are going to stderr, and
the blurb to add to cargo.toml to stdout, so we just need to redirect
stdout.

Yes, we do not see what cargo added to cargo.toml, but that is not so
interesting.

Still, cargo ends its messages with a suggestion for the user to modify
cargo.toml, with:

    To use vendored sources, add this to your .cargo/config.toml for this project:

But since we've already redirected that to cargo.toml, there is nothing
for the user to edit, so the above can get confusing. Emit a little
blurb that states that everything is under control.

And then we can drop pipefail.

Note: the go-post-process initially had pipefail too, but it was dropped
in bfd1a31d0e (support/download/go-post-process: drop -o pipefail) as
it was causing spurious breakage when extracting the archive before
vendoring, so it is only reasonable that we also remove it from the
cargo-post-process.
