rustracer: remove (deprecated)

[seanrmurphy]

This PR originally contained a solution for building rustracer. However, the solution involved using overlays which are not permitted by hydra. @Mic92 suggested that it made more sense to remove this package - given that it is essentially deprecated in favour of packages such as rust-analyzer - rather than putting energy into trying to fix it.

Description of changes

• Fixed the build for ZHF (🦝 NixOS 22.11 - Zero Hydra Failures #199919) at #ZurichZHF :)
• Pinned rust channel to old nightly as per issue in repo, added extensions required for build
• Bumped version to 2.2.2 as per Cargo.toml; note that there has not been a 2.2.2 tagged release in the repo and hence a specific commit is fetched from github

This package has basically been deprecated in favour of rust-analyzer and hence it will likely make sense to pull it out of nixpkgs at some point.

Can you also add the removed attribute to pkgs/top-level/aliases.nix so that other people see why this was removed?

and squash the commits afterwards

@Mic92 Is this adequate/appropriate for indicating removal? I'm not sure if it's at the right place in the file; rustracerd was there already - seemed sensible to put it next to that.
