[Buildroot] [PATCHv3] package/rustc: needs C++ compiler with musl based toolchain

While building host-rust with a musl based toolchain without C++ compiler,
the build fail since libunwind bundled in rust sources needs a C++ compiler.

cargo:warning=i686-buildroot-linux-musl-gcc.br_real: error: [...]/host-rust-1.62.0/src/llvm-project/libunwind/src/Unwind-EHABI.cpp: C++ compiler not installed on this system

Note: the issues can't be reproduced with a glibc based toolchain
without C++ probaly due to extra steps required to support musl libc.

We could add the C++ dependency direclty to host-rustc but it would
requires adding the C++ reverse dependencies to all rust packages.

Instread, we add the C++ dependency to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS
only when a musl toolchain is used. So we can still install a prebuilt
rust compiler but without the rust standard library (rust-std).

Usually we should not add toolchain dependencies in a _ARCH_SUPPORTS option but
BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_TIER... options contains already some
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_GLIBC or BR2_TOOLCHAIN_USES_MUSL.

v3: add a global C++ dependency to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS (Yann)
    update comment to use "C++ cross compiler"
v2: move the C++ dependency to BR2_PACKAGE_HOST_RUSTC_TARGET_ARCH_SUPPORTS
    after James's review and discussion with Thomas and Arnout
