Description
Recently rustic was changed to use rust-mode as dependency. Some new code in the former rustic.el was not moved to rust-mode.e(#407). We should merge those improvements:
- improved regexes in rustic-top-item-beg-re
- include keyword existential in rust-keywords
- performance improvements for rust-syntax-propertize functions (@phillord would be great if you could take a look)
- tests that are not present in rust-mode

Research direction
Compare the former rustic.el changes with rust-mode.el, focusing first on the unchecked rust-syntax-propertize performance work. Then identify tests that existed in rustic but are absent from rust-mode and add coverage for the merged behavior. Done means the improvements are present in rust-mode.el and the missing tests cover them.
