kbuild: mark `rustc` (and others) invocations as recursive
`rustc` (like Cargo) may take advantage of the jobserver at any time (e.g. for backend parallelism, or eventually frontend too). In the kernel, we call `rustc` with `-Ccodegen-units=1` (and `-Zthreads` is 1 so far), so we do not expect parallelism. However, in the upcoming Rust 1.76.0, a warning is emitted by `rustc` [1] when it cannot connect to the jobserver it was passed (in many cases, but not all: compiling and `--print sysroot` do, but `--version` does not). And given GNU Make always passes the jobserver in the environment variable (even when a line is deemed non-recursive), `rustc` will end up complaining about it (in particular in Make 4.3 where there is only the simple pipe jobserver style). One solution is to remove the jobserver from `MAKEFLAGS`. However, we can mark the lines with calls to `rustc` (and Cargo) as recursive, which looks simpler. This is being documented as a recommendation in `rustc` [2] and allows us to be ready for th...
