kbuild: rust: remove now-unneeded `rusttest` custom sysroot handling

Since we dropped our custom `alloc` in commit 9d0441bab775 ("rust: alloc:
remove our fork of the `alloc` crate"), there is no need anymore to keep
the custom sysroot hack.

Thus delete it, which makes the target way simpler and faster too.

This also means we are not using Cargo for anything at the moment,
and that no download is required anymore, so update the main `Makefile`
and the documentation accordingly.

-# This prepares a custom sysroot with our custom `alloc` instead of
-# the standard one.
-#
-# This requires several hacks:
-#   - Unlike `core` and `alloc`, `std` depends on more than a dozen crates,
-#     including third-party crates that need to be downloaded, plus custom
-#     `build.rs` steps. Thus hardcoding things here is not maintainable.
-#   - `cargo` knows how to build the standard library, but it is an unstable
-#     feature so far (`-Zbuild-std`).
-#   - `cargo` only considers the use case of building the standard library
-#     to use it in a given package. Thus we need to create a dummy package
-#     and pick the generated libraries from there.
-#   - The usual ways of modifying the dependency graph in `cargo` do not seem
-#     to apply for the `-Zbuild-std` steps, thus we have to mislead it
-#     by modifying the sources in the sysroot.
-#   - To avoid messing with the user's Rust installation, we create a clone
-#     of the sysroot. However, `cargo` ignores `RUSTFLAGS` in the `-Zbuild-std`
-#     steps, thus we use a wrapper binary passed via `RUSTC` to pass the flag.
-#
-# In the future, we hope to avoid the whole ordeal by either:
-#   - Making the `test` crate not depend on `std` (either improving upstream
-#     or having our own custom crate).
-#   - Making the tests run in kernel space (requires the previous point).
-#   - Making `std` and friends be more like a "normal" crate, so that
-#     `-Zbuild-std` and related hacks are not needed.
