Igor Velkov 4222417736 extensions: add kernel-rust extension for Rust support in kernel builds
Add extension that enables CONFIG_RUST in kernel menuconfig and
configures the build environment (rustc, rustfmt, bindgen, rust-src)
using versioned APT packages from noble-security/noble-updates.

Handles env -i in run_kernel_make_internal by passing tool paths
via RUSTC, RUSTFMT, BINDGEN make params and RUST_LIB_SRC env var.

Includes optional RUST_KERNEL_SAMPLES=yes for building sample
Rust modules (rust_minimal, rust_print, rust_driver_faux) as a
toolchain smoke test.

Tested: kernel 6.19 build for rockchip64 on aarch64, both with
and without Docker.

# Enable Rust support for Linux kernel compilation.
#
# Installs Rust toolchain via rustup into ${SRC}/cache/tools/rustup/ and
# configures the build environment so that CONFIG_RUST appears in kernel
# menuconfig and gets enabled automatically.
#
# The toolchain is cached by a hash of (RUST_VERSION, BINDGEN_VERSION, arch,
# RUST_EXTRA_COMPONENTS, RUST_EXTRA_CARGO_CRATES). Changing any of these
# triggers a full reinstall on the next build.
#
# Other extensions can request additional rustup components or cargo crates:
# RUST_EXTRA_COMPONENTS+=("clippy" "llvm-tools")
# RUST_EXTRA_CARGO_CRATES+=("mdbook" "cargo-deb@2.11.0")
#
# Usage: ./compile.sh kernel-config BOARD=... BRANCH=... ENABLE_EXTENSIONS="kernel-rust"
