Fixes compilation failures when using BusyBox ar on Windows (and other platforms with non-GNU ar implementations). BusyBox's ar doesn't support the -s flag for symbol table generation. This change adds graceful fallback behavior: 1. Try ar s first (works with GNU ar and most implementations) 2. If ar s fails, fall back to ranlib (equivalent functionality) 3. If ranlib fails/unavailable, continue without symbol tables (acceptable as symbol tables are an optimization, not a requirement) Includes comprehensive cross-platform test coverage that verifies the fallback mechanism works correctly. Fixes rust-lang#504

Add serial_test dependency and use #[serial] attribute to ensure the busybox_ar_fallback test runs serially, not in parallel with other tests. This prevents cross-contamination where the custom ar/ranlib scripts from this test interfere with other tests running concurrently in CI. Fixes CI failures where tests tried to write to directories belonging to other test instances.

Fixes compilation failures when using BusyBox ar on Windows.
BusyBox's ar doesn't support the -s flag, so we now gracefully fall back to ranlib when ar s fails.
Includes comprehensive test coverage and backward compatible with GNU ar
Fixes #504
