linux/common-config: Overhaul Rust for Linux enabling logic

The table with kernel version and compiler requirements only starts from
Linux 6.12 now (the previous default), so update the force-enable logic
to accommodate users that don't want to follow those suggestions.

This includes printing warnings instead of asserting and allowing the
force-enable to override both the compiler check and the version (or
architecture) check.
