[Bug 2036123] [NEW] Remove Windows libraries from Rust source package

[Zixing Liu]

Public bug reported:

We want to remove Windows libraries (mostly windows-sys and friends)
from the Rust source package.

They contain binary blobs and auto-generated code that consume much storage space (~700 MiB).
Removing them also makes the source package easier to audit.

** Affects: rustc (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
