bindgen currently has a `bindgen/build.rs` which attempts to have cargo rebuild bindgen when TARGET specific env variables change, specifically `BINDGEN_EXTRA_CLANG_ARGS_<target>`. Unfortunately, this doesn't have the desired effect in most cases. Specifically, when a crate `A` has `bindgen` in `build-dependencies`, and we're cross compiling `A` for target `T` on a host `H`, `bindgen`'s `build.rs` will observe `TARGET` set to `H` (the host target name) instead of `T` (because `bindgen` itself is being built for `H` and not `T`). Then, within the build script of crate `A`, one would use `bindgen` to generate bindings, and now `TARGET` is set to `T`, so different env variables are used. Allow crates using `bindgen` in build scripts to correctly handle env variable changes by adding `ParseCallbacks::read_env_var()` to track env var reads and adding a basic implementation to `CargoCallbacks` to emit `cargo:rerun-if-env-changed` lines.
