It's often desirable to set the name of the resulting binary to something else other than the target name (attr.name), perhaps when the rust_binary target is wrapped in a macro, and not considered the "main" target of that macro.
This diff adds a new binary_name attribute to rust_binary, which when set will be used as the resulting binaries prefix instead of the targets name. The default is to still use the target name.
