build-sys: Turn Rust LTO off by default, add --enable-lto flag

For us, this is primarily right now a size issue.  See:
https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/rust-staticlibs-and-optimizing-for-size/5746

For more information, there are these two issues:
rust-lang/cargo#4349
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1386371

The basic issue here is that a build with LTO off (and a trivial
change to add a `println!` takes 14s here, and with it on takes 38s.
However, with LTO off the stripped size of `librpmostree_rust.a` is
`6M`, with LTO on it's `1.1M`.

I named this `--enable-lto` as I'd like to investigate doing this
for the C code too.
