Rust support in the upstream kernel on riscv64 currently requires the
LLVM/Clang toolchain and does not work with gcc [1]. Add a sanity check to skip
the recipe if TOOLCHAIN is not set to "clang" when building a riscv64 kernel with
rust support enabled, point the user to the local.conf change needed to fix it.
