There are many ways to set SONAME for rust C library, some of them
requires you to modify RUSTFLAGS which is not suggested by Fedora rust
packaging tools.

Including suggestions for this use case which works with Fedora rust
packaging tools.

This is not documented because the recommended way to build C-ABI libraries is with cargo-c, which handles this automatically. There is also the cdylib-link-lines crate, which also addresses this use case. If upstream does not use either of these to set the soname when building the cdylib target, I would consider that an upstream bug and not something that should be worked around in packaging.

In that case, I will close this PR.
