PSA: rustc/cargo can now be installed on ARM Linux, NetBSD and FreeBSD using rustup/multirust

rustup is going to grow "ndk" support, which just means that we'll slowly teach it how to install the needed native components for common host->target combinations. We'll start with easy stuff like automatically installing and configuring the Android SDK/NDK to work with Rust. Then maybe linux-gnu->linux-musl, etc.

Still haven't thought through the details and it'll probably be another month before I start on it.
