And warn that it currently does not do anything, and depends on a patchset upstream
that is currently being reviewed.

gcc/rust/ChangeLog:

	* checks/errors/feature/rust-feature-defs-rfl.h: Add cfi_encoding RfL feature.
	* checks/errors/feature/rust-feature-gate.cc (FeatureGate::visit): Add visitor
	for attributes in general, and warn on cfi_encoding being used.
	* checks/errors/feature/rust-feature-gate.h: Declare the attribute visitor.
	* util/rust-attribute-values.h: Add #[cfi_encoding].
	* util/rust-attributes.cc: Likewise.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* rust/compile/cfi-encoding1.rs: New test.
	* rust/compile/cfi-encoding2.rs: New test.
