rust: debugfs: Add support for read-only files

Extends the `debugfs` API to support creating read-only files. This
is done via the `Dir::read_only_file` method, which takes a data object
that implements the `Writer` trait.

The file's content is generated by the `Writer` implementation, and the
file is automatically removed when the returned `File` handle is
dropped.
