rust: use custom FFI integer types Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types instead of `core::ffi`. This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit yet. Signed-off-by: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240913213041.395655-4-gary@garyguo.net [ Added `rustdoc`, `rusttest` and KUnit tests support. Rebased on top of `rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

rust: map `long` to `isize` and `char` to `u8` The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`: 1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses `-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned. 2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

Reworded slightly and reformatted a few documentation comments. Rebased on top of `rust-next`. Added the removal of two casts to avoid Clippy warnings. - Miguel ] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>

rust: use absolute paths in macros referencing core and kernel Macros and auto-generated code should use absolute paths, `::core::...` and `::kernel::...`, for core and kernel references. This prevents issues where user-defined modules named `core` or `kernel` could be picked up instead of the `core` or `kernel` crates. Thus clean some references up.

rust: replace `CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` `kernel::ffi::CStr` was introduced in commit d126d2380131 ("rust: str: add `CStr` type") in November 2022 as an upstreaming of earlier work that was done in May 2021[0]. That earlier work, having predated the inclusion of `CStr` in `core`, largely duplicated the implementation of `std::ffi::CStr`. `std::ffi::CStr` was moved to `core::ffi::CStr` in Rust 1.64 in September 2022. Hence replace `kernel::str::CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr` to reduce our custom code footprint, and retain needed custom functionality through an extension trait. Add `CStr` to `ffi` and the kernel prelude.
