Revert "Make "Assemble stage1 compiler" orders of magnitude faster"

Reverts #96803. This caused `llvm-tools-nightly` to fail when installing with `rustup-toolchain-install-master` because of the presence of symlinks. I'm not sure how the symlinks got in there, but revert the PR for now while I figure it out.
