rust: use host dylib naming convention to support macOS
Because the `macros` crate exposes procedural macros, it must be
compiled as a dynamic library (so it can be loaded by the compiler at
compile-time).
Before this change the resulting artifact was always named
`libmacros.so`, which works on hosts where this matches the naming
convention for dynamic libraries. However the proper name on macOS would
be `libmacros.dylib`.
This turns out to matter even when the dependency is passed with a path
(`--extern macros=path/to/libmacros.so` rather than `--extern macros`)
because rustc uses the file name to infer the type of the library (see
link). This is because there's no way to specify both the path to and
the type of the external library via CLI flags. The compiler could
speculatively parse the file to determine its type, but it does not do
so today.
This means that libraries that match neither rustc's naming convention
for static libraries nor the platform's naming convention for dynamic
libraries are *rejected*.
The only solution I've found is to follow the host platform's naming
convention. This patch does that by querying the compiler to determine
the appropriate name for the artifact. This allows the kernel to build
with CONFIG_RUST=y on macOS.
