rust: pick a GCC-compatible Cargo target under MSYS2/MinGW

When Git is built under MSYS2/MinGW with Rust support enabled, the
Makefile expects `cargo build` to drop a `target/release/libgitcore.a`
that is linkable by the same MinGW GCC used for every other object. With
Rust installed via `rustup` (the way it ships on the GitHub-hosted
`windows-2022` and `windows-11-arm` runners that build git/git and its
forks), the default toolchain targets the MSVC ABI; cargo then writes
`target/release/gitcore.lib` instead, which the MinGW `ld.exe` cannot
consume:

    LINK git-shell.exe
    D:\git-sdk-64-minimal\mingw64\bin/ld.exe: cannot find target/release/libgitcore.a: No such file or directory
    collect2.exe: error: ld returned 1 exit status

See https://github.com/microsoft/git/actions/runs/27341625000 for a
full example log.

Let's define the correct target, using the `CARGO_BUILD_TARGET` variable
that will be picked up by Rust, see
https://dirname.github.io/rust-std-doc/cargo/reference/environment-variables.html#:~:text=CARGO%5FBUILD%5FTARGET

Re-use (and fix) the existing `HOST_CPU` variable to determine the
correct value. Avoid relying on environment variables that are simply
not defined in Git for Windows' minimal SDK that Git uses in its CI
runs.
