Miguel Ojeda c8cbe2fc22 rust: kbuild: remove --remap-path-prefix workarounds
Commit 8cf5b3f836 ("Revert "kbuild, rust: use -fremap-path-prefix
to make paths relative"") removed `--remap-path-prefix` from the build
system, so the workarounds are not needed anymore.

Thus remove them.

Note that the flag has landed again in parallel in this cycle in
commit dda135077e ("rust: build: remap path to avoid absolute path"),
together with `--remap-path-scope=macro` [1]. However, they are gated on
`rustc-option-yn, --remap-path-scope=macro`, which means they are both
only passed starting with Rust 1.95.0 [2]:

  `--remap-path-scope` is only stable in Rust 1.95, so use `rustc-option`
  to detect its presence. This feature has been available as
  `-Zremap-path-scope` for all versions that we support; however due to
  bugs in the Rust compiler, it does not work reliably until 1.94. I opted
  to not enable it for 1.94 as it's just a single version that we missed.

In turn, that means the workarounds removed here should not be needed
again (even with the flag added again above), since:

  - `rustdoc` now recognizes the `--remap-path-prefix` flag since Rust
    1.81.0 [3] (even if it is still an unstable feature [4]).

  - The Internal Compiler Error [5] that the comment mentions was fixed in
    Rust 1.87.0 [6]. We tested that was the case in a previous version
    of this series by making the workaround conditional [7][8].

...which are both older versions than Rust 1.95.0.

We will still need to skip `--remap-path-scope` for `rustdoc` though,
since `rustdoc` does not support that one yet [4].
