Rust: Add example queries

[geoffw0]

Add example CodeQL queries for Rust, and link them from rust-further-reading.rst - similarly to how we have in other languages. These should help developers who are trying to write their first Rust queries.

[Copilot]

Pull Request Overview

This PR adds three example CodeQL queries for Rust to help developers learn query writing. The examples demonstrate different query patterns, from simple AST matching to more complex taint tracking scenarios.

• Adds three example queries: empty-if, simple-sql-injection, and simple-constant-password
• Creates a new qlpack structure for Rust examples
• Updates documentation to include links to the new example queries

These examples look great!

I would've thought newQuery meant a new query meant for running by end users. Though I don't know what other category we could pick, so maybe this is the best option?

[geoffw0]

That's the conclusion I came to. It felt more appropriate than minorAnalysis. I guess the main impact of this will be which part of the compiled change notes this part will appear in.

I'm not sure though, I'll request a docs review...

[mchammer01]

Thanks for the ping. What are the available categories?

[geoffw0]

Docs team - this doesn't necessarily need a thorough review, the main content being three example queries targeting Rust that we're happy with. And a link to them from the docs in the same way as we do for other languages.

However we do have a question above about the change note that we'd appreciate your thoughts on.
