[PATCH 3/6] kbuild: rust_is_available: add check for `bindgen` invocation

[Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>]

`scripts/rust_is_available.sh` calls `bindgen` with a special
header in order to check whether the `libclang` version in use
is suitable.

However, the invocation itself may fail if, for instance, `bindgen`
cannot locate `libclang`. This is fine for Kconfig (since the
script will still fail and therefore disable Rust as it should),
but it is pretty confusing for users of the `rustavailable` target
given the error will be unrelated:

    ./scripts/rust_is_available.sh: 21: arithmetic expression: expecting primary: "100000 *  + 100 *  + "
    make: *** [Makefile:1816: rustavailable] Error 2

Instead, run the `bindgen` invocation independently in a previous
step, saving its output and return code. If it fails, then show
the user a proper error message. Otherwise, continue as usual
with the saved output.

Since the previous patch we show a reference to the docs, and
the docs now explain how `bindgen` looks for `libclang`,
thus the error message can leverage the documentation, avoiding
duplication here (and making users aware of the setup guide in
the documentation).
