[PATCH] firmware_loader: make RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS select FW_LOADER

[Alexandre Courbot]

I have noticed that build will fail when doing the following:

- Start with the x86 defconfig,
- Using nconfig, enable `CONFIG_RUST` and `CONFIG_DRM_NOVA`,
- Start building.

The problem is that `CONFIG_RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS` remains
unselected, despite it being a dependency of `CONFIG_NOVA_CORE`. This
seems to happen because `CONFIG_DRM_NOVA` selects `CONFIG_NOVA_CORE`.

Fix this by making `CONFIG_RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS` select
`CONFIG_FW_LOADER`, and by transition make all users of
`CONFIG_RUST_FW_LOADER_ABSTRACTIONS` (so far, nova-core and net/phy)
select it as well.

`CONFIG_FW_LOADER` is more often selected than depended on, so this
seems to make sense generally speaking.

I am not 100% percent confident that this is the proper fix, but the
problem is undeniable. :) I guess the alternative would be to make nova-drm
depend on nova-core instead of selecting it, but I suspect that the
`select` behavior is correct in this case - after all, firmware loading
does not make sense without any user.
