Sarthak Singh fe99216357 rust: Support latest version of rust-analyzer
Sets the `sysroot` field in rust-project.json which is now needed in
newer versions of rust-analyzer instead of the `sysroot_src` field.

Till [1] `rust-analyzer` used to guess the `sysroot` based on the
`sysroot_src` at [2]. Now `sysroot` is a required parameter for a
`rust-project.json` file. It is required because `rust-analyzer`
need it to find the proc-macro server [3].

In the current version of `rust-analyzer` the `sysroot_src` is only used
to include the inbuilt library crates (std, core, alloc, etc) [4]. Since
we already specify the core library to be included in the
`rust-project.json` we don't need to define the `sysroot_src`.

Code editors like VS Code try to use the latest version of rust-analyzer
(which is updated every week) instead of the version of rust-analyzer
that comes with the rustup toolchain (which is updated every six weeks
along with the rust version).

Without this change `rust-analyzer` is breaking for anyone using VS Code.
As they are getting the latest version of `rust-analyzer` with the
changes made in [1].

`rust-analyzer` will also start breaking for other developers as they
update their rust version (assuming that also updates the rust-analyzer
version on their system).

This patch should work with every setup as there is no more guess work
being done by `rust-analyzer`.

[ Lukas, who leads the rust-analyzer team, says:

    `sysroot_src` is required now if you want to have the sysroot
    source libraries be loaded. I think we used to infer it as
    `{sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library` before when only the
    `sysroot` field was given but that was since changed to make it
    possible in having a sysroot without the standard library sources
    (that is only have the binaries available). So if you want the
    library sources to be loaded by rust-analyzer you will have to set
    that field as well now.

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.
