Rust version policy: add footnote to clarify stability

Now that the "Unstable features" page includes an explanation
of the stability of the Rust language, explicitly mention it
in this page too, linking (again) that other page in case the
reader wants more details.

 ### Distribution toolchains
 
 Some Linux distributions provide Rust toolchains (i.e. built by the distribution maintainers, rather than redistributing the ones from https://www.rust-lang.org). These toolchains should be fine to use, as long as they have not been modified in unexpected ways (and keeping in mind the versioning limitations).
