buildRustCrate: support cross compiling to wasm32-unknown-unknown

With this change you will finally be able to use
buildRustCrate/crate2nix to build your wasm32-unknown-unknown
rust projects.

Simply import nixpkgs like so:
```
lib = <nixpkgs/lib>;
pkgsForWasm32 = import <nixpkgs> {
  crossSystem = lib.examples.wasm32-unknown-none;
}
```
or use pkgsCross directly with
```
pkgsCross.wasm32-unknown-none.callPackage ./. { };
```
