Subject: [PATCH] rust: kbuild: pass -Zunstable-options for Rust 1.95.0

Custom target specifications are unstable, but starting with Rust 1.95.0, rustc requires to explicitly pass -Zunstable-options to use them [1]:

    error: error loading target specification: custom targets are unstable and require `-Zunstable-options`
      |
      = help: run `rustc --print target-list` for a list of built-in targets

David (Rust compiler team lead), writes:

"We're destabilising custom targets to allow us to move forward with
build-std without accidentally exposing functionality that we'd like to revisit prior to committing to. I'll start a thread on Zulip to discuss with the RfL team how we can come up with an alternative for them."

Thus pass it.

2.51.0

The Rust version is pinned in 6.6.y, so this is fine:
