dev-lang/rust: Drop our custom package in favour of upstream Gentoo's

It is not clear why this was forked originally. One reason was to avoid
the sys-apps/lsb-release dependency, but it probably wasn't just that.
It seems likely that the upstream package did not support cross targets
at the time. Now it does.

It appears that LTO was previously enabled by us following Gentoo rather
than through an explicit decision. They now disable it by default, so we
do likewise. It previously used "fat" LTO, which makes Rust especially
slow to build and reportedly made rustc slower than with "thin" LTO!
There seems little benefit in using thin LTO given that we rebuild Rust
almost as much as the packages that use it, plus we don't enable LTO
anywhere else.

We still avoid rustdoc to keep the size down using INSTALL_MASK. This
isn't as good as not building it in the first place, but this alone
isn't worth keeping a fork.

Cross targets are now handled via the admittedly experimental
RUST_CROSS_TARGETS support. This has been in place for a while, and I
think it is fairly widely used now. If it does disappear, it would
almost certainly be for something even better.

This also updates Rust from 1.80.0 to 1.80.1.
