[SRU][L/M][PATCH] UBUNTU: [Packaging] introduce a separate linux-lib-rust package

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2015867

After enabling Rust in the kernel, the size of linux-headers increased
consistently.

Some work has been done to reduce the size, such as dropping the binary
artifacts (*.o and *.cmd), but it would be nice to keep the size of
linux-headers reasonably small to avoid wasting too much space in the
cloud images.

For this reason introduce a new package linux-lib-rust to ship all the
Rust headers and libraries required to build out-of-tree kernel modules
in Rust.

Before this patch: 96M	/usr/src/linux-headers-6.2.0-21-generic
 After this patch: 29M	/usr/src/linux-headers-6.2.0-21-generic
