Use $RUSTC instead of rustc to get version if var is available (rust-lang#15250)

Fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#15249

For the builtin rustc, it should return "dev" as the release channel.
Clippy tests pass with this patch in both the Clippy standalone
repository and from within the compiler repository.
