  lang/rust-bootstrap: build the cargo bootstrap tarball (#756)

Follow-up to #755, fixing the gap noted there: `lang/rust` bootstraps
from **three** distfiles — `rustc`, `rust-std` and `cargo` — but this
port ran `x.py dist` with `extended=false` and no `tools` list, so it
never produced a cargo tarball. The bootstraps it shipped were not
enough to bump `lang/rust` on their own; cargo still had to come from
the FreeBSD mirror.

## Changes

- `tools=["cargo"]` and `extended=true` so cargo is built and packaged
with the other two
- `do-install` drops the combined `rust-${PORTVERSION}` installer (a
side effect of `extended=true`) plus the `rust-dev` / `rustc-dev`
tarballs, which `lang/rust` never fetches — same set FreeBSD keeps
- `[dist] compression-formats=["xz"]`, since only the xz tarballs are
installed and building gzip copies of everything was pure overhead

The package now carries exactly `cargo`, `rustc` and `rust-std`, and
shrinks from **469M to 75M**.

## Validation (amd64 flavor)

| Step | Result |
|---|---|
| `bmake configure` | expected `config.toml` |
| `bmake` | Build completed successfully in 0:43:45 |
| `bmake fake` | stages exactly cargo + rustc + rust-std |
| `bmake package` | `amd64-rust-bootstrap-1.95.0.mport`, 75M |
| `portlint` | 15 warnings, all pre-existing and unrelated |

### Bootstrap functional test

The produced tarballs were exercised the way `lang/rust`'s
`do-configure` uses them — each extracted and run through its own
`install.sh --prefix=<scratch>` — and then used as a real toolchain:

```
$ cargo-1.95.0-x86_64-unknown-freebsd/install.sh --prefix=<scratch>   # cargo installed.
$ rust-std-1.95.0-x86_64-unknown-freebsd/install.sh --prefix=<scratch> # rust std installed.
$ rustc-1.95.0-x86_64-unknown-freebsd/install.sh --prefix=<scratch>    # rustc installed.

$ <scratch>/bin/rustc --version
rustc 1.95.0 (59807616e 2026-04-14) (built from a source tarball)
$ <scratch>/bin/cargo --version
cargo 1.95.0 (f2d3ce0bd 2026-03-21) (built from a source tarball)

$ <scratch>/bin/cargo init --name bstest && cargo build --offline && ./target/debug/bstest
Hello, world!
```

So the bootstrap set installs cleanly and cargo drives rustc to compile
and run a crate.

The i386 flavor was not built.

## Summary by Sourcery

Build a complete, slimmer Rust bootstrap tarball set containing only the
cargo, rustc, and rust-std artifacts required by lang/rust.

New Features:
- Build and package Cargo alongside rustc and rust-std for Rust
bootstrap consumers.

Bug Fixes:
- Ensure the bootstrap package contains the complete set of distfiles
required to independently update lang/rust.

Enhancements:
- Limit generated and installed bootstrap artifacts to the required
xz-compressed cargo, rustc, and rust-std tarballs.
