Ben Dean-Kawamura 726d243f2f Bug 1927569 - Rust component JS topic guides, r=bgruber

Added JS topic guides and also updated the existing Swift/JS ones a bit.
I didn't add a guide for remote settings, since I don't think we want to
encourage users to use this one over the official client.

Split up the notes at the begining into prerequites and notes on async.
My hope is that the async notes can go away once we start making our
components async.

Viaduct

Viaduct initialization is required for all platforms and for multiple components. The README explains the component in more detail.

Firefox Desktop, Firefox Android, and Firefox iOS all already initialize viaduct. You only need to take action if you want to use the Rust components on a new application.

There are 3 different options to use viaduct:

Any libxul based can ignore initialization, since it's handled by libxul.
Using the reqwest backend, which uses the reqwest library and a reqwest-managed thread.
Implementing the C FFI like libxul does (https://searchfox.org/mozilla-central/source/toolkit/components/viaduct).
