Bug description:
  Firefox 125+ requires rustc 1.74 to build¹².

  The beta phase for Firefox 125.0 begins on 2024-03-18 and release
  candidates will be available from 2024-04-16.

  Eventually Thunderbird will need an updated rust toolchain as well.

  We will need these in all supported releases of Ubuntu: focal, jammy,
  mantic.

  Rust toolchain upgrades are usually relatively safe from a FTBFS point
  of view, since new releases are subjected to a crater run, crater
  being a tool that compiles the entirety of the crates.io packages.
