This downloads bindgen-cli.crate from crates.io without verifying that the
file obtained matches what was requested.  The package is then built inside
the build environment.  This means that the entire kernel build is under full
control of crates.io, which could inject arbitrary code.

During the kernel build, the cargo tool is now used as well, so it needs to be
added to BuildRequires.

Overall though, I would very much prefer not to package bindgen-cli with the
kernel and to turn off Rust support in releases that don't provide the
necessary infrastructure.  In those environments, Rust support surely doesn't
matter now, and it also won't matter anytime soon, either.
