This avoids a set of intermittent issues related to `zstd` decompression failures, which in the absence of these changes break the entire build.
This also requires [updating an environment variable](https://github.com/mozilla/sccache/pull/822), which we do in `client.mk` as well as documentation.

After bug 1651806, we're trying to caution people against running `mach build $A_SPECIFIC_TARGET` because it's not generally supported. `dumbmake` is a piece of infrastructure that attempts to make this use case a little bit more useable, but it was always supposed to be a stopgap. There doesn't seem to be a need for it any more.

This patch includes content from the following places.
- Lina's "Getting Rusty: How to ship an XPCOM component in Firefox" slide deck.
- Zibi's "Rust <--> C/C++ FFI for newbies" gist.
It also links to Emilio's "FFI patterns #1 - Complex Rust data structures
exposed seamlessly to C++" blog post. I was going to include that content, but
it's very long, so I have omitted it for now.

Because jar_maker is not in the libs tier, we also rename the libs-%
targets for l10n repacks to l10n-%, which make it clearer what they are
for.
And because multilocale.txt is both a GeneratedFile and a file that is
generated (and installed) via manual build rules, keeping it in the misc
target actually breaks building in toolkit/locales during l10n repacks,
so move it to libs for now.

Some of the testing info is from the Oxidation wiki, and the logging info is
largely from a dev-platform email by Valentin. The other parts I wrote from
scratch.
The commit also makes some small improvements to the Rust build docs.

The added material comes from the Oxidation wiki's FAQ and the "Building
Firefox with Rust code" MDN page:
https://wiki.developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Firefox/Building_Firefox_with_Rust_code
Once this commit lands, I will (a) remove the wiki FAQ entries, and (b) replace
the contents of that MDN page with a link to these build docs. There's no point
having overlapping docs, and in-tree is the best place for this information.
This commit also makes the capitalization of sub-headings more consistent.

This brings the `android-build` image very close to other build
images, paving the way for it to be folded in completely. It also
makes us more resilient in the face of upstream service interruptions.

Rather than always printing instructions at the end of the bootstrap phase, we will now create a mozconfig
file if one doesn't exist and there's configuration to be written.

l10n-merge creates a full merge dir for a while now, let's
simplify the build logic to only read from that directory
during repacks and langpacks.

Local PGO builds now use 3-tier machinery under the hood. Instead of a
single object directory that gets cleaned in between the instrumented
and profile-use builds, now the instrumented build uses a separate
'${objdir}/instrumented' directory. This makes it easier to handle
within mach since we can drive the two builds with environment variables
and keep all build artifacts separate, without needing to do manual
cleanup in between.

This fixes quite a bit of historical baggage, and also goes
into a bit more details of what the l10n repacks actually do.

The "Localization" docs in tools/compare-locales are really mostly
build, so merging that content into the builds doc.
Removing Android parts, add Fluent there, noting DTD deprecation.
Moving the glossary to the actual l10n docs.
With proper top-level structure, show 2 levels of l10n and intl
on the front-matter page.

I don't know if this covers all the things that use mozinfo (probably not)
but it covers all the suites that use mozinfo and have webrender conditions
