[PATCH v2 1/6] kbuild: rust: add `CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION`

[Miguel Ojeda]

Now that we support several Rust versions, introduce
`CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION` so that it can be used in Kconfig to enable and
disable configuration options based on the `rustc` version.

The approach taken resembles `pahole`'s -- see commit 613fe1692377
("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION"), i.e. a simple version parsing
without trying to identify several kinds of compilers, since so far
there is only one (`rustc`).

However, unlike `pahole`'s, we also print a zero if executing failed for
any reason, rather than checking if the command is found and executable
(which still leaves things like a file that exists and is executable,
but e.g. is built for another platform [1]). An equivalent approach to
the one here was also submitted for `pahole` [2].
