Subject: [PATCH] feat: add --raw-json-diagnostics flag to dx build (#4887)

This flag allows users to get the raw JSON output from cargo instead
of having it processed by Dioxus. This is useful for integration with
other tools that expect cargo's native JSON diagnostic format.

When enabled, cargo's JSON messages are relayed directly to stdout
while still allowing DX to track essential build information internally.

Usage: dx build --raw-json-diagnostics
