`scripts/generate_rust_analyzer.py` also needs to pass `zerocopy` and
`zerocopy_derive` in the `deps` lists of `bindings` and `uapi` (similar
to commit 3c847e17225a ("rust: add `pin-init` as a dependency to
`bindings` and `uapi`")).

Without that update, `make rust-analyzer` generates a `rust-project.json`
where `bindings` and `uapi` only depend on `core`, `ffi`, and `pin_init`,
so `rust-analyzer` fails to resolve `zerocopy_derive::most_traits` in
`uapi` and does not see the derived traits on `drm_panthor_gpu_info` in
`tyr`.

With `scripts/generate_rust_analyzer.py` updated as well, a subject
prefix like `rust: add zerocopy and zerocopy_derive to bindings and uapi`
might fit better too.

Nit: non-recipe continuation lines in `rust/Makefile` use 4 spaces for
indentation rather than tabs (same for `rusttestlib-uapi`,
`$(obj)/bindings.o`, and `$(obj)/uapi.o` below).
