Feature request to add the disable-parallel part property to the rust plugin. Labeled 'Needs information' — maintainer awaits a real-world use case before implementing. No activity for 363 days; rust plugin still lacks the property.

Suggested action: close stale

Reason: The issue is labeled 'Status: Needs information' and the body explicitly requests a real-world use case ('extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case'), but 363 days have passed with zero comments and no use case provided — far beyond the 6-month threshold. The rust plugin still lacks disable_parallel (only autotools has it, per PR #1167), so it is not fixed, but the requested information never arrived and the maintainer has deprioritized it.

Impact: 15 Quick Win: 12.75 Staleness: 82 Complexity: 15 Confidence: 78 Support Request: 10

Issue body

### What needs to get done Support the [disable-parallel](https://canonical-craft-parts.readthedocs-hosted.com/latest/common/craft-parts/reference/part_properties/#disable-parallel) part property in the rust plugin. ### Why it needs to get done All of our plugins should theoretically support this. In practice though, this is extremely low priority until someone shows us a real-world use case for it. If someone can bring us a real-world use case that we can test against (especially a case of "this application simply does not build with parallel"), that would be ideal. The [autotools plugin](https://github.com/canonical/craft-parts/pull/1167) required this for OpenJDK builds, for example.
