Description of changes

This commit adds a brief five-bullet outline for the manual's Rust section, which has grown extremely large. It's easy for a reader to be overwhelmed by it, especially because the manual's HTML formatting doesn't include any kind of TOC outline below second-level headers.

The goal here is to get across to the user that:

  • You can install rustc and cargo from nixpkgs
  • Nixpkgs supports two approaches to packaging crates
  • There are community-supported overlays outside of Nixpkgs

See also: #187919, #187921
