Port build_directory_md from Python to Rust

[cclauss]

The build_directory_md.py run in our GitHub Action directory_workflow.yml should be replaced by Rust code.

This process should be done in three separate pull requests.

• [ ] Run both the Python and Rust versions in the same GitHub Action and fail if the two files are not identical.
• [ ] Remove the running of the Python code in the GitHub Action and remove the Python file.
• [ ] [Optional] Modify the Rust version to add any new information and/or look and feel.

Why should we replace the existing script?

[cclauss]

Because:

1. It might be a change of pace for a contributor to contribute something that is not an algorithm.
2. Learning how GitHub Actions work and how to improve them is a superpower.
3. This community will be better able to maintain and improve code written in Rust.
4. I may port innovations made in the new implementation back into the Python repo.

Agree, let's do it then

Let's keep this open for a while in case somebody wants to update the Rust script with new features. I can't think of any off the top of my head, but this doesn't mean there are none
