[Feat]: Rust #52

## What is your suggestion? Support Rust as a programming language for VSCode for Android

Why do you want this feature?

I want to use the Rust language server to help me navigate the source code to Rust programs and libraries, like Veilid, on my tablet. It would also be nice to build Rust programs and libraries into full .apk apps.

Are there any workarounds to get this functionality today?

[edit: I found a workaround!]

Get the latest Rust via rustup by executing the script from https://sh.rustup.sh/, and selecting the aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu target.

Alternatively, one can install the 'rust-all' package from the Ubuntu apt repository, though that is an older release and doesn't include any ability to update to new versions that aren't packed in .deb format.

(pinging because edits typically don't trigger pings. I found a workaround to get Rust installed and building sources; the rust VScode extension also installs and works well. I still think that Rust should be a first-class language option packaged for the README.Md like Python, C/C++, and PHP.)
