rust: update the minimum version of Rust

Summary

Debian Bullseye has just been released, and it carries rustc 1.48.0.

This actually implies a regression that we can't really do anything about in
rhg. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/88825. In short, closed (or
bad) standard file descriptors are reopened silently with no way of telling by
the Rust runtime before main is executed. This means that closed fds are not
forwarded to the subprocess we run in case of fallback. This is a bit sad, but
probably not something worth worrying too much about.

Seeing as how 5.9 still has a known bug and a 5.9.1 is needed (https://bz.mercurial-scm.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6581), I'll wait until 5.9.1 is released to re-push this for stable, otherwise the CI desync will be a pain.

Looks good. This should be merged around the same time as CI is changed to use 1.48.0

This should not be taken until the start of the new cycle, because we don't want to break stable in case there is a 5.9.2, and I do not want to deal with a CI desync between stable and default.

Is it good to go now?

Do you want to also update the rustfmt version used by test-check-format-rust.t?

This is ready indeed and should be taken for 6.0. I've sent D11733 to address @martinvonz's request.
