[Bug 1993183] [NEW] rustc linux kernel requirements

[Dimitri John Ledkov]

Public bug reported:

linux kernel is adding rustc requirements.

ideally we need a compatible version of rustc in $devel release, and
last $lts, due to backporting of $devel kernels to latest $lts at point
releases.

Attempting the rust build in jammy today results in the following checks
failing:


sh ./scripts/rust_is_available.sh -v
***
*** Rust compiler '/usr/bin/rustc' is too old.
***   Your version:    1.61.0
***   Minimum version: 1.62.0
***
***
*** Rust bindings generator 'bindgen' is too new. This may or may not work.
***   Your version:     0.59.1
***   Expected version: 0.56.0
***

Please update rustc to 1.62.0 in LL devel release and Jammy.

Separately I will look if upstream kernel can upgrade to a newer
bindgen, or if we need to request a historical bindgen packaging as
bindgen-0.56 or some such.
