Update notes about static linking and MUSL
People often use the edition guide as general documentation of capabilities, not just for Rust 2018. There is extensive information on the web suggesting that Rust *only* supports static linking with MUSL. Add a note documenting current capabilities, so that people know they have a choice of libc implementations even if they need static linking.

(Note: current Rust (as of 1.48) supports static linking with either glibc or

MUSL, so you can select whichever libc you need or prefer.)

By default, Rust will statically link all Rust code. However, if you use the
69
standard library, it will dynamically link to the system's `libc`
710
implementation.
