In this CL we're adding the barebones infrastructure to generate Rust proto messages using UPB as a backend. The API is what we call a V0, not yet production-quality, not yet rigorously designed, just something to enable parallel work.
The interesting part of switching backend between UPB and C++ will come in a followup.

The internal design is consistent with other <lang>_proto_library rules. rust_proto_library attaches rust_proto_library_aspect on its `deps` attribute. The aspect traverses the dependency, and when it visits proto_library (detected by ProtoInfo provider) it registers 2 actions:
1) to run protoc with Rust backend to emit gencode
2) to compile the gencode using Rustc
Action (2) gets the Rust proto runtime as an input as well.
Coming in a followup is support and test coverage for proto_library.deps.
