Rollup merge of #89655 - tlyu:find-non-merge-commits, r=jyn514

bootstrap: don't use `--merges` to look for commit hashes for downloading artifacts

Shallow clones (and possibly worktrees, though I can't seem to reproduce the problem there) can cause `git rev-list --merges` to falsely return no results, even if a merge commit is present. Stop using the `--merges` option when looking for commit hashes that have build artifacts. `--first-parent` and `--author=bors@rust-lang.org` should be sufficient.

Also exit with an error if the configuration asks for artifacts to be downloaded and we can't determine an appropriate commit hash to use to download artifacts.

Fixes #87890.
