Tejun Heo 43950c65bd build: Use workspace to group rust sub-projects
meson build script was building each rust sub-project under rust/ and
scheds/rust/ separately. This means that each rust project is built
independently which leads to a couple problems - 1. There are a lot of
shared dependencies but they have to be built over and over again for each
proejct. 2. Concurrency management becomes sad - we either have to unleash
multiple cargo builds at the same time possibly thrashing the system or
build one by one.

We've been trying to solve this from meson side in vain. Thankfully, in
issue #546, @vimproved suggested using cargo workspace which makes the
sub-projects share the same target directory and built together by the same
cargo instance while still allowing each project to behave independently for
development and publishing purposes.

Make the following changes:

- Create two cargo workspaces - one under rust/, the other under
  scheds/rust/. Each contains all rust projects underneath it.

- Don't let meson descend into rust/. These are libraries used by the rust
  schedulers. No need to build them from meson. Cargo will build them as
  needed.

- Change the rust_scheds build target to invoke `cargo build` in
  scheds/rust/ and let cargo do its thing.

- Remove per-scheduler meson.build files and instead generate custom_targets
  in scheds/rust/meson.build which invokes `cargo build -p $SCHED`.

- This changes rust binary directory. Update README and
  meson-scripts/install_rust_user_scheds accordingly.

- Remove per-scheduler Cargo.lock as scheds/rust/Cargo.lock is shared by all
  schedulers now.

- Unify .gitignore handling.
