'rustup override' is required to be set for the build directory and not
necessarily the kernel source tree (unless the build directory is its
subdir).
Clarify the same in the Quick Start guide.

Nowadays all architectures except s390 recommend using `LLVM=1` instead of
`CC=clang`, and since commit a3c6bfba4429 ("Documentation/llvm: refresh
docs") the Kbuild LLVM documentation makes `LLVM=1` the way to go:
We want to encourage the use of ``LLVM=1`` rather than just
``CC=clang``. Make that suggestion "above the fold" and "front and
center" in our docs.
In particular, that commit removes the examples with `CC=clang`.
Thus do the same in the Rust Quick Start guide, i.e. remove the `CC=clang`
mentions, especially since the architectures that have had their Rust
support upstreamed (or soon to be upstreamed) are all `LLVM=1` ones.
And perhaps by the time Rust is supported for s390 (or new architectures),
it may have moved to `LLVM=1` anyway. Otherwise, this can be added back
if needed (or perhaps an extra link to Documentation/kbuild/llvm.rst).
This should also help avoiding potential confusion around `CC=clang` [1].

The behavior of 'rustup override' is not very well known. Add a small
note about what it does, so users have a better understanding of how it
affects their system toolchain (i.e., it does not affect system
toolchain and only sets a directory-specific override).

The source for Rust's 'core' library is needed to build the kernel with
Rust support. This sometimes needs to be obtained by hand when using a
standalone version of 'rustc' not managed by 'rustup'. Currently, the
documentation suggests cloning the 'rust' repository to obtain these
sources, but this is quite slow (on the order of a multiple minutes).
Change this documentation to suggest using the source tarball instead.
The tarball includes only needed files (<5M) and is significantly faster
to download; this is more in line with what 'rustup' does.
Also simplify wording of the relevant section.

In LLVM 16, anonymous items may return names like `(unnamed union at ..)`
rather than empty names [1], which breaks Rust-enabled builds because
bindgen assumed an empty name instead of detecting them via
`clang_Cursor_isAnonymous` [2]:
$ make rustdoc LLVM=1 CLIPPY=1 -j$(nproc)
RUSTC L rust/core.o
BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs
BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_helpers_generated.rs
BINDGEN rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs
thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9

This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to
a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16.
Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to
`--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too.
In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate
called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the
Quick Start guide.
Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind
`size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag
to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed
the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen.
Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in
its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust
panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly
generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.

Sometimes users need to tweak the finding process of `libclang`
for `bindgen` via the `clang-sys`-provided environment variables.
Thus add a paragraph to the setting up guide, including a reference
to `clang-sys`'s relevant documentation.

The Quick Start guide points to the Rust programming language front
page when it mentions the possibility of using the standalone
installers instead of `rustup`.
This was done to have a hopefully stable link, but it is not too
helpful: readers need to figure out how to reach the standalone
installers from there.
Thus point directly to the page (and anchor) with the table that
contains the standalone installers (plus signing key etc.).
If the link breaks in the future, we can always update it as
needed. And anyway having the full link includes the domain and
gives more information about where the old docs were in such
a broken link case, which may help.

Most of the documentation for Rust is written within the source code
itself, as it is idiomatic for Rust projects. This applies to both
the shared infrastructure at `rust/` as well as any other Rust module
(e.g. drivers) written across the kernel.
However, these documents contain general information that does not
fit particularly well in the source code, like the Quick Start guide.
It also contains a few other small changes elsewhere in the
documentation folder.
