Title:
  Remove Windows libraries from Rust source package

Status in rustc package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  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.
