David Gow ab0f4cedc3 arch: um: rust: Add i386 support for Rust
At present, Rust in the kernel only supports 64-bit x86, so UML has
followed suit. However, it's significantly easier to support 32-bit i386
on UML than on bare metal, as UML does not use the -mregparm option
(which alters the ABI), which is not yet supported by rustc[1].

Add support for CONFIG_RUST on um/i386, by adding a new target config to
generate_rust_target, and replacing various checks on CONFIG_X86_64 to
also support CONFIG_X86_32.

We still use generate_rust_target, rather than a built-in rustc target,
in order to match x86_64, provide a future place for -mregparm, and more
easily disable floating point instructions.

With these changes, the KUnit tests pass with:
kunit.py run --make_options LLVM=1 --kconfig_add CONFIG_RUST=y
--kconfig_add CONFIG_64BIT=n --kconfig_add CONFIG_FORTIFY_SOURCE=n

An earlier version of these changes was proposed on the Rust-for-Linux
github[2].
