Following the installation instructions, if you happen to try to build rust in a directory with a space in the name ./configure chokes, claiming not to be able to find your target triple.

At the least, we should put a warning about this in the installation instructions.

The Rust build scripts do work if the source directory contains spaces. I tried to make it work with spaces. I managed to get the Rust's and LLVM's configure scripts to work with spaces in the path, but I could not figure out how to get the Rust makefiles working.

So for now, this PR updates Rust's `configure` to abort if the source path contains spaces. I also added a note about spaces in the source path to the README.

I think this should close #18477 for now.
