fix(compile): build.warnings=deny shouldn't block hard warnings

Motivation for this: rustc is trying to adopt this feature but hard
warnings are getting in the way, see rust-lang/rust#148332

Reasons to do this:
- Less flexibility in how hard warnings are resolved
- Matches Cargo not erroring for Cargo hard warnings

Reasons not do this:
- A user may see a hard warning from rustc and get confused
- Cargo's hard warnings are not blocking in part because we would need
  to audit them to see if they should actually be hard warnings

We do have some flexibility on warnings evolving over time,
so this is likely a two-way door (on an unstable feature).
