[PATCH 1/2] kbuild: rust: preserve unreachable traps with inline helpers

When `CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS` is enabled, it is possible to hit
`objtool` warnings like:

    vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: _R..._4cmdq12CommandToGsp4init()
    falls through to next function _R..._4core5array4iter8IntoIterRShKj3_EEEBa_()

`rustc` normally emits traps for unreachable paths. However, under
`CONFIG_RUST_INLINE_HELPERS=y`, `rustc` emits LLVM bitcode and Clang
performs final code generation after the helper bitcode is linked,
but Clang does not trap unreachable IR by default.

In turn, this means `objtool` follows compiler-generated impossible Rust
`enum` paths through alignment padding into the next function, resulting
in fallthrough warnings.

Thus pass the LLVM `trap-unreachable` option to the final Clang invocation
and suppress traps immediately after `noreturn` calls, which `objtool`
already recognizes as dead ends. The combination of both flags makes it
match `rustc`'s behavior.

Rust 1.85.0 (the minimum supported one) supports LLVM >= 18, and both
flags are available in LLVM 18.

I pinged Gary offline to ask if he had to deal with these `unreachable`
cases back when he sent the patch, and he didn't. So it looks like we
simply did not hit the case until now.
