[Bug 2064517] Re: rustc 1.76 required by firefox 127

[Zixing Liu]

The rustc toolchain update is currently experiencing a delay due to LP: #2052985 and LP: #2054748.
Unfortunately, they failed to make it to Noble and are now targeting Oracular.

Due to how the backport process works in the Rust toolchain packages,
Rust 1.76 in F, J, M and N will be available after the upload to
Oracular.

Bug description:
  Firefox 127+ requires rustc 1.76 to build¹².

  The beta phase for Firefox 127.0 begins on 2024-05-13 and release
  candidates will be available from 2024-06-11.

  Eventually Thunderbird will need an updated rust toolchain as well.

  We will need these in all supported releases of Ubuntu: focal, jammy,
  mantic, noble.

  Rust toolchain upgrades are usually relatively safe from a FTBFS point
  of view, since new releases are subjected to a crater run, crater
  being a tool that compiles the entirety of the crates.io packages.
