Rob Jellinghaus a5343d6116 fix(idl_gen_rust): Fix lifetime warning added in Rust 1.89 (#8709)
Rust 1.89 added a new lifetime-related warning:
<https://blog.rust-lang.org/2025/08/07/Rust-1.89.0/#mismatched-lifetime-syntaxes-lint>

The Rust code generator currently emits code which trips this warning. This very small PR
fixes the issue for the relevant generated functions and for the Rust flexbuffers code.

Flexbuffers

Flexbuffers is a schema-less binary format developed at Google. FlexBuffers can be accessed without parsing, copying, or allocation. This is a huge win for efficiency, memory friendly-ness, and allows for unique use cases such as mmap-ing large amounts of free-form data.

FlexBuffers' design and implementation allows for a very compact encoding, with automatic sizing of containers to their smallest possible representation (8/16/32/64 bits). Many values and offsets can be encoded in just 8 bits.

FlexBuffers supports Serde for automatically serializing Rust data structures into its binary format.

Flexbuffers is the schema-less cousin of Flatbuffers.
