rust: allow clippy::as_underscore in the generated bindings

Browse source

A CLIPPY=1 build emitted about 15000 `as _` conversion warnings, all of
them in bindgen's generated output and none in hand-written code.

[ The lint messages look like:

    error: using `as _` conversion
         --> rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs:18947:9

    - Miguel ]

bindgen 0.73 returns each bitfield read through a trailing `as _`, and
0.72 returns it through a transmute, which the lint ignores. The
bindings and uapi crates allow `clippy::all` over the generated code.
That group does not cover `clippy::as_underscore`, a restriction lint.

Allow `clippy::as_underscore` by name in the bindings and uapi crates.
