buildRustPackage: add overrideRust attribute

[9999years]

This lets you write code like this:

let
  pkgs = import <nixpkgs> {};
  version = "0.1.15";
in
pkgs.ruff.overrideRust {
  inherit version;

  src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
    owner = "astral-sh";
    repo = "ruff";
    rev = "v${version}";
    hash = "sha256-DzdzMO9PEwf4HmpG8SxRJTmdrmkXuQ8RsIchvsKstH8=";
  };

  cargoHash = "sha256-MpiWdNUs66OGYfOJo1kJQTCqjrk/DAYecaLf6GUUKew=";

  patches = [];
}

Previously, it was essentially impossible to override cargoHash.

Functionality-wise, this looks like a dupe of #194475.

It doesn't look like #194475 is moving forward (it hasn't been reviewed in over a year). Can we get this merged as a stopgap measure and plan to replace it with a better solution when one becomes available?

The perfect is the enemy of the good, and this PR is small and addresses a very inconvenient missing feature in rustPlatform.

Tried it out and it worked well! This makes it so much easier to override rust packages.

Looks like the winds are swaying towards #194475.
