.gitattributes: set diff driver for Rust source code files

Git supports a builtin Rust diff driver [1] since v2.23.0 (2019).

It improves the choice of hunk headers in some cases, such as
diffs within methods, since those are indented in Rust within
an `impl` block, and therefore the default diff driver would
pick the outer `impl` block instead (rather than the method
where the changed code is).

For instance, with the default diff driver:

             let len_to_copy = core::cmp::min(pos_new, self.end).saturating_sub(self.pos);
