The <literal>rustPlatform.buildRustPackage</literal> function is split into several hooks:
<package>cargoSetupHook</package> to set up vendoring for Cargo-based projects,
<package>cargoBuildHook</package> to build a project using Cargo,
<package>cargoInstallHook</package> to install a project using Cargo, and
<package>cargoCheckHook</package> to run tests in Cargo-based projects. With this change,
mixed-language projects can use the relevant hooks within builders other than
<literal>buildRustPackage</literal>. However, these changes also required several API changes to
<literal>buildRustPackage</literal> itself:
<itemizedlist>
<listitem>
<para>
The <literal>target</literal> argument was removed. Instead, <literal>buildRustPackage</literal>
will always use the same target as the C/C++ compiler that is used.

<para>
The <literal>cargoParallelTestThreads</literal> argument was removed. Parallel tests are
now disabled through <literal>dontUseCargoParallelTests</literal>.

<para>
The <literal>rustPlatform.maturinBuildHook</literal> hook was added. This hook can be used
with <literal>buildPythonPackage</literal> to build Python packages that are written in Rust
and use Maturin as their build tool.
