Add cross-compilation support for `rustc`

This patch is largely modeled on the relatively-straightforward code
for Fortran cross-compilation, so there might be some intricacies
missing.

+## Rust cross-compilation
+
+Cross-compilation is now supported for Rust targets. Like other
+cross-compilers, the Rust binary must be specified in your cross
+file. It should specify a `--target` (as installed by `rustup target`)
+and a custom linker pointing to your C cross-compiler. For example:
+
+```
+[binaries]
+c = '/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-7'
+rust = [
+    'rustc',
+    '--target', 'arm-unknown-linux-gnueabihf',
+    '-C', 'linker=/usr/bin/arm-linux-gnueabihf-gcc-7',
+]
+```
