resolves #19403 Report the rust compiler version used in the prometheus metrics (#19643)

# What is done?
- resolves #19403
- Adds build-time Rust compiler detection and captures the rustc
--version value during the build.
- Exposes the captured compiler version from the Rust extension via a
new Python-callable function.
- Exports a new Prometheus metric for rustc version.

# How to test?
- compile `poetry install`
- add `enable_metrics: true` and 
```yaml
    resources:
    - compress: false
      names:
      - client
      - federation
      - metrics
```
to homeserver.yaml
- start synapse
- find the rustc version at `http://localhost:8008/_synapse/metrics`

### Pull Request Checklist

<!-- Please read
https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html
before submitting your pull request -->

* [x] Pull request is based on the develop branch
* [x] Pull request includes a [changelog
file](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#changelog).
The entry should:
- Be a short description of your change which makes sense to users.
"Fixed a bug that prevented receiving messages from other servers."
instead of "Moved X method from `EventStore` to `EventWorkerStore`.".
  - Use markdown where necessary, mostly for `code blocks`.
  - End with either a period (.) or an exclamation mark (!).
  - Start with a capital letter.
- Feel free to credit yourself, by adding a sentence "Contributed by
@github_username." or "Contributed by [Your Name]." to the end of the
entry.
* [x] [Code
style](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/code_style.html) is
correct (run the
[linters](https://element-hq.github.io/synapse/latest/development/contributing_guide.html#run-the-linters))
