Unrolled build for rust-lang#129000

Rollup merge of rust-lang#129000 - RalfJung:miri-bootstrap-clear, r=onur-ozkan

bootstrap: clear miri ui-test deps when miri sysroot gets rebuilt

Second attempt after rust-lang#128683: seems like it's not the compiler changing that we care about, but the sysroot changing.

I did some local testing with sysroot rebuilds and it works fine for at least those cases I checked.
