rustc: Compare paths with --extern, not bytes#15971

The right hand side of the comparison in these checks are values of type Option<&Path> which are normalized versions of the left-hand side, so they're not guaranteed to be byte-for-byte equivalent even though they're the same path. For this reasons, the command line arguments are promoted to paths for comparison of equality. This fixes a bug on windows where if a library was specified with --extern it would then be picked up twice because it was not considered to have been previously registered.
