Subject: [PATCH] rust: lib: add if_cfg! macro for conditional compilation

Add a new if_cfg! macro to simplify conditional compilation using
cfg attributes. This macro expands to paired #[cfg(cond)] and 
#[cfg(not(cond))] blocks, allowing compile-time selection between 
code branches in both expression and statement contexts.
