As a first step towards full support for cross compilation of Cargo subprojects, allow building the same crate for both the host and the build machine.
Right now the crate name must match the file name, but that means that the same file name is used for host and build rlibs. To allow that, drop anything after a
+sign from the crate name. This convention is already in use, for example Fedora uses it to denote the features that packages support (e.g.rust-$crate+$feature-devel), so it makes sense for Meson to use it instead of reinventing something else.Other than for cross compilation, this is also useful in some cases where the same crate can be compiled with multiple configurations. Using the "+SUFFIX" syntax avoids having to use a dependency map.
