rust: remove `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE` and simplify code

With the Rust version bump in place, the `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`
Kconfig (automatic) option is always true.

Thus remove the option and simplify the code.

In particular, this includes removing our use of the predecessor unstable
features we used with Rust < 1.84.0 (`coerce_unsized`, `dispatch_from_dyn`
and `unsize`).
