local:clang:dev-lang/rust: Use sys-devel/clang for building

Reading the crappy build system, looks like all it does is switching CC/CXX. Which is both an invalid use of the flag and a QA violation of not respecting CC/CXX. We support using CC/CXX to switch the compiler, so please remove the flag.

The clang flag is no longer supported anyway, closing.
