Do not run codegen in build.rs scripts (#3874)

### What
Running codegen from our `build.rs` was a problem, because it required
specific versions of specific tools to be installed (`clang-format`,
`black`, etc). It is better to run the codegen with `just codegen`,
which will ensure the correct tools are installed via `pixi`.

With this PR you now have to run `just codegen` manually each time you
change `re_types_builder` or any `.fbs`. If you forget to do so, the CI
will catch it for you.

This PR removes `crates/re_types/build.rs`, but does NOT touch
`crates/re_types_builder/build.rs`.
