rust.md: Explicitly point out how special `'static` is.

Drive-by: fix description of `&content` to point out that `&'f type` is (as of today) only for type expressions.

 Immutable static items are stored in the read-only data section.
 The constant value bound to a static item is, like all constant values, evaluated at compile time.
 Static items have the `static` lifetime, which outlives all other lifetimes in a Rust program.
+Only values stored in the global data section (such as string constants

+dynamically constructed values cannot safely be assigned the `static` lifetime.
 Static items are declared with the `static` keyword.
 A static item must have a _constant expression_ giving its definition.
