Description
Having two instances of cargo-gpu install a single toolchain makes them crash or build it twice. Especially with build scripts, it may be quite common to see multiple shader crates compiling and thus installing in parallel. We need our own lockfile for each installation of a rustc_backend_spirv.

Research direction
Start by tracing the cargo-gpu installation path for a rustc_backend_spirv toolchain and inspect how concurrent installations are handled. Done means parallel installations use a per-installation lockfile and no longer crash or build the same toolchain twice.
