Make MCU setup easier to discover and add some implied commands like installing the proper targets for the rust compiler

I think there should be only one page for MCU and not two. The explanation on how to run the demo should also be in the docs. And maybe a better name would just be docs/mcu.md

I was actually planning to move the demo stuff over to the README of the printerdemo_mcu. That is where I would look for that information.

Yes, that's fine too as long as each files references eachother

Eventually we need to have some "How to do MCU" kind of doc with instructions on how to code for MCU with Slint. The little we have on that topic can stay in the MCU backend README for now I think.

I moved the demo specific stuff into the demo's README for now. I think that is the best place for this kind of instruction.

And maybe a better name would just be docs/mcu.md

That's what I had at first, too:-) But then I do expect that we will need to add instructions on how to start a rust project for MCU explaining all the setup code and stuff. Both topics will also have a somewhat different audience I would expect: The setup will be needed by a lot more people than the "start a new MCU project" documentation.

That's why I ended up having mcu_setup.md: So that I can reference setup instructions without needing to explain "You care for the setup section of that document only".

This no longer applies and the docs have changed in the meantime.
