Rollup merge of rust-lang#116292 - onur-ozkan:warn-wrong-sources, r=clubby789

warn if source is not either a git clone or a dist tarball

When the repository is downloaded directly via HTTP(as in rust-lang#115041), builds may fail due to missing submodules.

This PR adds a check that warns people in such cases.
