Add a flag to force generating toplevel crate map

As we start to move runtime components into the crate map, it's becoming harder
and harder to start the runtime from a C function as rust is embedded in another
application. Right now if you compile a rust crate as a dynamic library which is
then linked to another application, when using std::rt::start there are no I/O
local services, even though rustuv was linked against and requested. The reason
for this is that there is no top level crate map available specifying where to
find libuv I/O.

This option is not meant to be used regularly, but rather whenever compiling a
final library crate and linking it into another application. This lifts the
requirement that to get a crate map you must have the final destination be an
executable.
