Addresses @k0kubun's review in ruby#15711 (comment) NEWS.md serves both CRuby developers as well as end-users. As the release date closes in, it probably gets seen by more users than core developers (on the blog for example). Most users probably don't build Ruby by hand, and instead that is abstracted through tools like ruby-install or a package manager. For some users these tools may install pre-built binaries where they exist, in which case the Rust requirement doesn't apply. In other instances, the tools merely automate the build, in which case the correct rustc version is required to enable support. It is also a little confusing to talk about "enabling support for the JIT during the build" vs "enabling the JIT at runtime". This copy attempts to balance all of the above and hopefully gets the correct points across all intended audiences.
