Rewrite miri script in rust

This is a sketch of a rewrite of miri script in Rust. It does not include changes made in #2908 yet. Environment variables are not properly propagated yet, which is something I plan to address.

This PR is mostly a heads-up about the ongoing effort and it's state.
It's definitely not the cleanest code I've seen in my life, but my first goal was feature/interface parity. I will iterate on it a bit before marking it as ready.

I wonder though how this should be integrated/tested. Are you aware of anyone using `./miri` in their scripts?
I guess we should keep existing `miri` script in place and let it run miri-script package directly?

CI should probably `cargo check` this package as well.

Fixes #2883
