[PATCH v2] rust-analyzer: update generate_rust_analyzer to pass cfg to macros crate

[Malte Wechter]

The configuration passed to rust-analyzer for the `macros` create is
different from the configuration used to build the crate. Update
rust-analyzer configuration for the `macros` crate to reflect the
settings used to compile the crate. Without this change, rust-analyzer
does not understand conditional compilation gated by configuration
redicates based on the `CONFIG_*`configuration values in the macros
crate.

We are currently moving the 'configfs_attrs' macro to a procedual implementation,
with this we wanted to gate the macro on CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS, since the macros crate is
build with these configurations since 36174d16 ("rust: kunit: support KUnit-mapped `assert!` macros in `#[test]`s").
It compiles but rust-analyzer does not reflect this as adding:
 
    #[cfg(CONFIG_CONFIGFS_FS)]
    mod configfs_attrs;

will _never_ mark configfs_attrs module as included since the cfg's are not passed to
the macros crate.

Changes in v2:

Should this patch have a Fixes tag mentioning 36174d16?
