RA does not work at all when offline #12499
Description
I tried to do a bit of coding on rustc while on a plane without internet, and noticed that RA handles this situation quite badly. cargo metadata fails because it cannot refresh the index, and then basically nothing works, even though everything needed should be available offline. In particular, not even "check on save" does anything -- I had to run ./x.py check by hand. That worked perfectly fine, demonstrating that RA could also have run x.py as usual and show the diagnostics in the editor.
