kbuild: rust: add PROCMACROLDFLAGSrust-6.14

These are flags to be passed when linking proc macros for the Rust
toolchain. If unset, it defaults to $(KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS).

This is needed because the list of flags to link hostprogs is not
necessarily the same as the list of flags used to link libmacros.so.
When we build proc macros, we need the latter, not the former (e.g. when
using a Rust compiler binary linked to a different C library than host
programs).

To distinguish between the two, introduce this new variable to stand
out from KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS used to link other host progs.

[ v3:

  - `export`ed the variable. Otherwise it would not be visible in
    `rust/Makefile`.

  - Removed "additional" from the documentation and commit message,
    since this actually replaces the other flags, unlike other cases.

  - Added example of use case to documentation and commit message.
    Thanks Alice for the details on what Google needs!

  - Instead of `HOSTLDFLAGS`, used `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` as the fallback
    to preserve the previous behavior as much as possible, as discussed
    with Alice/Yifan. Thus moved the variable down too (currently we
    do not modify `KBUILD_HOSTLDFLAGS` elsewhere) and avoided
    mentioning `HOSTLDFLAGS` directly in the documentation.

  - Fixed documentation header formatting.

  - Reworded slightly.
