docs: rust: quick-start: add Ubuntu 

Ubuntu has changed their maintenance model for Rust toolchains and is
now providing recent Rust releases in their releases, including both
LTS and non-LTS (interim) releases.

Therefore, add instructions to the Quick Start guide for Ubuntu, like
it is done for the other distributions.

Ubuntu

******



Ubuntu LTS and non-LTS (interim) releases provide recent Rust releases and thus

they should generally work out of the box, e.g.::



	apt install rustc-1.80 rust-1.80-src bindgen-0.65 rustfmt-1.80 rust-1.80-clippy



``RUST_LIB_SRC`` needs to be set when using the versioned packages, e.g.::



	RUST_LIB_SRC=/usr/src/rustc-$(rustc-1.80 --version | cut -d' ' -f2)/library



In addition, ``bindgen-0.65`` is available in newer releases (24.04 LTS and

24.10), but it may not be available in older ones (20.04 LTS and 22.04 LTS),

thus ``bindgen`` may need to be built manually (please see below).
