rust: Fix link arguments

Reduce code duplication by iterating target.get_dependencies() instead
of iterating target.link_targets and target.link_whole_targets
separately. This has the extra benefit of taking into account
transitive dependencies.

- For indirect C ABI static libraries, this adds missing "-l static="
  arguments.
- For indirect Rust ABI dependencies, this adds missing "-L" arguments.
- Verbatim modifier was used only for link_whole_targets, it's now
  always used when available.

Fixes: #11694
