rust: Support latest version of `rust-analyzer`
Sets the `sysroot` field in rust-project.json which is now needed in
newer versions of rust-analyzer instead of the `sysroot_src` field.
Till [1] `rust-analyzer` used to guess the `sysroot` based on the
`sysroot_src` at [2]. Now `sysroot` is a required parameter for a
`rust-project.json` file. It is required because `rust-analyzer`
need it to find the proc-macro server [3].
In the current version of `rust-analyzer` the `sysroot_src` is only used
to include the inbuilt library crates (std, core, alloc, etc) [4]. Since
we already specify the core library to be included in the
`rust-project.json` we don't need to define the `sysroot_src`.
Code editors like VS Code try to use the latest version of rust-analyzer
(which is updated every week) instead of the version of rust-analyzer
that comes with the rustup toolchain (which is updated every six weeks
along with the rust version).
Without this change `rust-analyzer` is breaking for anyone using VS Code.
As they are getting the latest version of `rust-analyzer` with the
changes made in [1].
`rust-analyzer` will also start breaking for other developers as they
update their rust version (assuming that also updates the rust-analyzer
version on their system).
This patch should work with every setup as there is no more guess work
being done by `rust-analyzer`.
[ Lukas, who leads the rust-analyzer team, says:
`sysroot_src` is required now if you want to have the sysroot
source libraries be loaded. I think we used to infer it as
`{sysroot}/lib/rustlib/src/rust/library` before when only the
`sysroot` field was given but that was since changed to make it
possible in having a sysroot without the standard library sources
(that is only have the binaries available). So if you want the
library sources to be loaded by rust-analyzer you will have to set
that field as well now.
