Warn if `dsymutil` returns an error code This checks the error code returned by `dsymutil` and warns if it failed. It also provides the stdout and stderr logs from `dsymutil`, similar to the native linker step. I tried to think of ways to test this change, but so far I haven't found a good way, as you'd likely need to inject some nonsensical args into `dsymutil` to induce failure, which feels too artificial to me. Also, rust-lang#79361 suggests Rust is on the verge of disabling `dsymutil` by default, so perhaps it's okay for this change to be untested. In any case, I'm happy to add a test if someone sees a good approach. Fixes rust-lang#78770

On macOS rustc runs dsymutil to generate debug info files. This invocation incorrectly ignores dsymutil's output and exit status. rustc thus succeeds even if dsymutil fails or crashes.
Example: in #78657, dsymutil crashed and left behind a corrupt .dSYM file. rustc nevertheless succeeded, thereby confusing the user after the debugger ignored that bad debug info.
