Attachment: Bug 1646280 - Improve Rust build docs. r=froydnj

The added material comes from the "Building Firefox with Rust code" MDN page:
https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Building_Firefox_with_Rust_code

Once this commit lands, I will replace the contents of that MDN page with a
link to these build docs -- there's no point having overlapping docs, and MDN
isn't the right place for this kind of documentation.

This commit also makes the capitalization of sub-headings more consistent.

[replace] is no longer usable. These instructions worked for me locally, I
hope they're universal.

Depends on D79956
