From: Harish Sadineni <[email protected]>

Rust support in the upstream kernel on riscv64 currently only works
with the LLVM/Clang toolchain, not gcc [1]. Add a sanity check that
fails the build with a clear error message if TOOLCHAIN is not set
to "clang" when building a riscv64 kernel with rust support enabled,
pointing the user to the required local.conf/recipe override.

Also add lld-native as a dependency for riscv64, since
lld is required when linking the kernel with clang.
