Now that we support several Rust versions, introduce
`CONFIG_RUSTC_VERSION` so that it can be used in Kconfig to enable and
disable configuration options based on the `rustc` version.
The approach taken resembles `pahole`'s -- see commit 613fe1692377
("kbuild: Add CONFIG_PAHOLE_VERSION"), i.e. a simple version parsing
without trying to identify several kinds of compilers, since so far
there is only one (`rustc`).
However, unlike `pahole`'s, we also print a zero if executing failed for
any reason, rather than checking if the command is found and executable
(which still leaves things like a file that exists and is executable,
but e.g. is built for another platform [1]). An equivalent approach to
the one here was also submitted for `pahole` [2].

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
