Description

Currently, it appears that cargo-post ignores the $CARGO_BUILD_TARGET environment variable, resulting in it passing incorrect CRATE_TARGET/CRATE_TARGET_TRIPLE/CRATE_OUT_DIR variables to the post-build script.

Pseudo-related to #2, given that the environment variable is another way of specifying the build.target configuration key.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how cargo post currently reads the build target and ensure it checks for the CARGO BUILD TARGET environment variable before falling back to the default target.
