Details

mach can bootstrap rust, so it would be nice if it could also automatically add rustc to the PATH during build. Currently mach build will fail with the message, "ERROR: Rust compiler not found. To compile rust language sources, you must have 'rustc' in your path."

I use mach directly from Windows PowerShell, and I didn't want to always have rust in my PATH, so instead I added $env:Path += ";${env:MOZILLABUILD}\cargo\bin" to a script that runs when I start Windows Terminal.
