I think Konstantin (Cc'ing him) wanted us to integrate this into
`htmldocs`, rather than having a new target. That is, if `CONFIG_RUST`
is enabled, call the `rustdoc` target there.

In any case, I will also comment on this approach below. Thanks for this!

Why was this needed?

We should change `rustdoc` to generate the docs directly in the right
place now that we have one.

Cheers,
