[PATCH] scripts: generate_rust_analyzer.py: reduce cfg plumbing

Plumb `pin-init{,-internal}` cfgs from Makefile to rust-analyzer and
automatically interpret `--cfg <crate>=<cfg>` as applying to <crate>.

So I guess the goal is to simplify things and avoid duplicate
information, which is good, but in general commits should explain why
the change is done (i.e. not just what is done), even if it may seem
obvious (for patches you receive, then you should ask the same to
submitters! :).

In addition, for the `rust/Makefile` ones, I try to mark those as
"rust: kbuild:" where possible/reasonable -- for instance, this could
be split into two patches. The first one would be the "rust: kbuild:"
factoring out the flags into the new variables and the second would
then be the rust-analyzer one that only would need the extra two
arguments in `rust/Makefile`.

The changes themselves seem fine.

Cc'ing Kbuild as well (there is no major change here, but still, I do
it out of habit).

Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel

Sounds good, will send as two patches in v2.
