compiletest: Disambiguate extern crate deps shared with the compiler

Fixes rust-lang#4015.

changelog: Handle deps shared with the compiler in the internal compiletest suite

Attempts to fix the multiple matching crates error using the `--extern dep=path` disambiguation. This only includes `serde` at the moment because it's the only problematic dep right now (is inside Rust sysroot and pulled via `extern crate` in the test suite).

I'm not exactly sure this is the right approach (FWIW it fixes the issue locally), please do tell if this should be done differently.
