docs(rust): add Rust error tracking installation guide#17583
Merged
Conversation
Documents manual exception capture (capture_exception / capture_exception_with), panic autocapture via install_panic_hook, and stack trace configuration for the Rust SDK, moving the usage docs out of the posthog-rs README per PostHog/posthog-rs#130 review. Adds the installation page, the error tracking nav entry, and an error tracking section on the Rust library page.
EU Cloud and self-hosted projects would otherwise send captures to the default US endpoint; sibling installation pages all pass the host.

Technical audit: code implementation verified for system consistency.
Panic autocapture is still in review (PostHog/posthog-rs#130) and unreleased. Ship the manual error tracking docs now; the panic hook section returns once it lands in a release.

Problem
The Rust SDK shipped manual error tracking in v0.12.0 (PostHog/posthog-rs#129), but there are no error tracking docs for Rust. Per review on PostHog/posthog-rs#130, usage docs belong here as the canonical reference, not in the SDK README.
Changes
/docs/error-tracking/installation/rustpage following the Go/Elixir page structure: install (defaulterror-trackingfeature), client init, manual capture (capture_exception/capture_exception_withwith options), stack trace configuration (ErrorTrackingOptionsBuilder), and a verify step## Error trackingsection +errorTracking: truefeature flag on the Rust library pageNotes
