x86/rust: support MITIGATION_RETPOLINE

Support `MITIGATION_RETPOLINE` by enabling the target features that
Clang does.

The existing target feature being enabled was a leftover from
our old `rust` branch, and it is not enough: the target feature
`retpoline-external-thunk` only implies `retpoline-indirect-calls`, but
not `retpoline-indirect-branches` (see LLVM's `X86.td`), unlike Clang's
flag of the same name `-mretpoline-external-thunk` which does imply both
(see Clang's `lib/Driver/ToolChains/Arch/X86.cpp`).

Without this, `objtool` would complain if enabled for Rust, e.g.:

    rust/core.o: warning: objtool:
    _R...escape_default+0x13: indirect jump found in RETPOLINE build

In addition, change the comment to note that LLVM is the one disabling
jump tables when retpoline is enabled, thus we do not need to use
`-Zno-jump-tables` for Rust here -- see commit c58f2166ab39 ("Introduce
the "retpoline" x86 mitigation technique ...") [1]:

    The goal is simple: avoid generating code which contains an indirect
    branch that could have its prediction poisoned by an attacker. In
    many cases, the compiler can simply use directed conditional
    branches and a small search tree. LLVM already has support for
    lowering switches in this way and the first step of this patch is
    to disable jump-table lowering of switches and introduce a pass to
    rewrite explicit indirectbr sequences into a switch over integers.

As well as a live example at [2].

These should be eventually enabled via `-Ctarget-feature` when `rustc`
starts recognizing them (or via a new dedicated flag) [3].
