[PATCH 6.12 341/414] rust: compile libcore with edition 2024 for 1.87+

[Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>]

6.12-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

commit f4daa80d6be7d3c55ca72a8e560afc4e21f886aa upstream.

Rust 1.87 (released on 2025-05-15) compiles core library with edition
2024 instead of 2021 [1]. Ensure that the edition matches libcore's
expectation to avoid potential breakage.

[ J3m3 reported in Zulip [2] that the `rust-analyzer` target was
  broken after this patch -- indeed, we need to avoid `core-cfgs`
  since those are passed to the `rust-analyzer` target.

  So, instead, I tweaked the patch to create a new `core-edition`
  variable and explicitly mention the `--edition` flag instead of
  reusing `core-cfg`s.

  In addition, pass a new argument using this new variable to
  `generate_rust_analyzer.py` so that we set the right edition there.

  By the way, for future reference: the `filter-out` change is needed
  for Rust < 1.87, since otherwise we would skip the `--edition=2021`
  we just added, ending up with no edition flag, and thus the compiler
  would default to the 2015 one.
