The source for Rust's 'core' library is needed to build the kernel with
Rust support. This must be obtained manually when using a non-rustup
install, such as when using 'rustc' from a package manager or from a
standalone installer. Currently, the documentation suggests cloning the
'rust' repository to obtain these sources, but this is quite slow (on
the order of a few minutes).

This patch changes this documentation to suggest using the source
tarball instead, which includes only needed information (<5M) and is
significantly faster to download. This is more in line with what
'rustup' does.
