rust: dma: add generalized container for types other than slices

Browse source

Currently, `CoherentAllocation` is concecptually a DMA coherent container
of a slice of `[T]` of runtime-checked length. Generalize it by creating
`dma::Coherent<T>` which can hold any value of `T`.
`Coherent::alloc_with_attrs` is implemented but not yet exposed, as I
believe we should not expose the way to obtain an uninitialized coherent
region.

`Coherent<[T]>` provides a `len` method instead of the previous `count()`
method to be consistent with methods on slices.

The existing type is re-defined as a type alias of `Coherent<[T]>` to ease
transition. Methods in use are not yet removed.
