--message-format doesn't work on "no-op" builds

[glandium]

Problem

When rebuilding with no change, cargo build shows its output in the original format, not the requested one

Steps

$ cargo new foo; cd foo
$ cat <<EOF > src/main.rs
fn main() {
    let a = 1;
}
EOF
$ cargo build
   Compiling foo v0.1.0 (/tmp/testcase/foo)
warning: unused variable: `a`
 --> foo/src/main.rs:2:9
  |
2 |     let a = 1;
  |         ^ help: if this is intentional, prefix it with an underscore: `_a`
  |
  = note: `#[warn(unused_variables)]` on by default

warning: `foo` (bin "foo") generated 1 warning (run `cargo fix --bin "foo"` to apply 1 suggestion)
    Finished dev [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.16s
$ cargo build --message-format=short
warning: unused variable: `a`
 --> foo/src/main.rs:2:9
  |
2 |     let a = 1;
  |         ^ help: if this is intentional, prefix it with an underscore: `_a`
  |
  = note: `#[warn(unused_variables)]` on by default

warning: `foo` (bin "foo") generated 1 warning (run `cargo fix --bin "foo"` to apply 1 suggestion)
    Finished dev [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.00s
$ rm -rf target
$ cargo build --message-format=short
   Compiling foo v0.1.0 (/tmp/testcase/foo)
foo/src/main.rs:2:9: warning: unused variable: `a`
warning: `foo` (bin "foo") generated 1 warning (run `cargo fix --bin "foo"` to apply 1 suggestion)
    Finished dev [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.16s
$ cargo build
foo/src/main.rs:2:9: warning: unused variable: `a`
warning: `foo` (bin "foo") generated 1 warning (run `cargo fix --bin "foo"` to apply 1 suggestion)
    Finished dev [optimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 0.04s

Possible Solution(s)

in a similar manner that altering RUSTFLAGS makes cargo rebuild, a different value of --message-format should probably do so too.

Thanks for the report! I believe this is a duplicate of #9003, so closing in favor of that.
