Subject: [PATCH 0/2] docs: rust: update instructions on obtaining 'core' source

This changes the suggested method of obtaining Rust's source to using the
tarball rather than a full clone, and adds a clarification about 'rustup
override'.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] docs: rust: clarify what 'rustup override' does

The behavior of 'rustup override' is not very well known. This patch is
a small edit that adds details about what it does, so users have a better
understanding of how it affects their system toolchain (i.e., it does
not affect system toolchain and only sets a directory-specific
override).
