Hi,

this small patch series introduces some improvements for our Rust
infrastructure. Most importantly, it introduces a couple of static
analysis checks to verify consistent formatting, use Clippy for linting
and to verify our minimum supported Rust version.

Furthermore, this series also introduces support for building with Rust
enabled on Windows.

The series is built on top of 45547b60ac (Merge branch 'master' of
https://github.com/j6t/gitk, 2025-10-05) with ps/rust-balloon at
e425c40aa0 (ci: enable Rust for breaking-changes jobs, 2025-10-02) and
ps/gitlab-ci-windows-improvements at 3c4925c3f5 (t8020: fix test failure
due to indeterministic tag sorting, 2025-10-02) merged into it.

Changes in v2:
  - Adjust comments for `encode_varint()` and `decode_varint()` based on
    brian's feedback.
  - Some small improvements to commit messages.
  - Not changed is the default column limit used by Rust. I think using
    the column limit of 100 used by the Rust ecosystem is sensible, but
    if there is a majority advocating for a limit of 80 I'll adapt this.

Sorry, I noticed that threading is broken here. An update of b4 made me
lose my custom patches that implement shallow threading by accident. The
next version will connect back to the original thread again.
