Add a new type to support specifying NUMA identifiers in Rust allocators
and extend the allocators to have NUMA id as a parameter. Thus, modify
ReallocFunc to use the new extended realloc primitives from the C side of
the kernel (i.e. k[v]realloc_node_align/vrealloc_node_align) and add the
new function alloc_node to the Allocator trait while keeping the existing
one (alloc) for backward compatibility.
This will allow to specify node to use for allocation of e. g. {KV}Box,
as well as for future NUMA aware users of the API.

Given we do not have tests that rely on it anymore, remove
`allocator_test`, which simplifies the complexity of the build.
In particular, it avoids potential issues with `rusttest`, such as the
one fixed at [1], where a public function was added to `Kmalloc` and
used elsewhere, but it was not added to `Cmalloc`; or trivial issues
like a missing import [2] due to not many people testing that target.
The only downside is that we cannot use it in the `macros`' crate
examples anymore, but we did not feel a need for that so far, and anyway
we could support that by running those within the kernel too, which we
may do regardless.

Since commit 028df914e546 ("rust: str: convert `rusttest` tests into
KUnit"), we do not have anymore host `#[test]`s that run in the host.
Moreover, we do not plan to add any new ones -- tests should generally
run within KUnit, since there they are built the same way the kernel
does. While we may want to have some way to define tests that can also
be run outside the kernel, we still want to test within the kernel too
[1], and thus would likely use a custom syntax anyway to define them.
Thus simplify the `rusttest` target by removing support for host
`#[test]`s for the `kernel` crate.
This still maintains the support for the `macros` crate, even though we
do not have any such tests there.

The kernel's allocators sometimes provide a higher alignment than the
end-user requested, so add a new constant on the Allocator trait to let
the allocator specify what its minimum guaranteed alignment is.
This allows the ForeignOwnable trait to provide a more accurate value of
FOREIGN_ALIGN when using a pointer type such as Box, which will be
useful with certain collections such as XArray that store its own data
in the low bits of pointers.

The `kernel` crate relies on both `coerce_unsized` and `dispatch_from_dyn`
unstable features.
Alice Ryhl has proposed [1] the introduction of the unstable macro
`SmartPointer` to reduce such dependence, along with a RFC patch [2].
Since Rust 1.81.0 this macro, later renamed to `CoercePointee` in
Rust 1.84.0 [3], has been fully implemented with the naming discussion
resolved.
This feature is now on track to stabilization in the language.
In order to do so, we shall start using this macro in the `kernel` crate
to prove the functionality and utility of the macro as the justification
of its stabilization.
This patch makes this switch in such a way that the crate remains
backward compatible with older Rust compiler versions,
via the new Kconfig option `RUSTC_HAS_COERCE_POINTEE`.
A minimal demonstration example is added to the
`samples/rust/rust_print_main.rs` module.

So far the kernel's `Box` and `Vec` types can't be used by userspace
test cases, since all users of those types (e.g. `CString`) use kernel
allocators for instantiation.
In order to allow userspace test cases to make use of such types as
well, implement the `Cmalloc` allocator within the allocator_test module
and type alias all kernel allocators to `Cmalloc`. The `Cmalloc`
allocator uses libc's `realloc()` function as allocator backend.

Implement `IntoIterator` for `Vec`, `Vec`'s `IntoIter` type, as well as
`Iterator` for `IntoIter`.
`Vec::into_iter` disassembles the `Vec` into its raw parts; additionally,
`IntoIter` keeps track of a separate pointer, which is incremented
correspondingly as the iterator advances, while the length, or the count
of elements, is decremented.
This also means that `IntoIter` takes the ownership of the backing
buffer and is responsible to drop the remaining elements and free the
backing buffer, if it's dropped.

`Vec` provides a contiguous growable array type with contents allocated
with the kernel's allocators (e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`).
In contrast to Rust's stdlib `Vec` type, the kernel `Vec` type considers
the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains
independent from unstable features.

When allocating memory for arrays using allocators, the `Layout::array`
function is typically used. It returns a result, since the given size
might be too big. However, `Vec` and its iterators store their allocated
capacity and thus they already did check that the size is not too big.
The `ArrayLayout` type provides this exact behavior, as it can be
infallibly converted into a `Layout`. Instead of a `usize` capacity,
`Vec` and other similar array-storing types can use `ArrayLayout`
instead.

This struct is assumed to hold ownership over the page, so that Rust
code can allocate and manage pages directly.
The page type has various methods for reading and writing into the page.
These methods will temporarily map the page to allow the operation. All
of these methods use a helper that takes an offset and length, performs
bounds checks, and returns a pointer to the given offset in the page.
This patch only adds support for pages of order zero, as that is all
Rust Binder needs. However, it is written to make it easy to add support
for higher-order pages in the future. To do that, you would add a const
generic parameter to `Page` that specifies the order. Most of the
methods do not need to be adjusted, as the logic for dealing with
mapping multiple pages at once can be isolated to just the
`with_pointer_into_page` method.
Rust Binder needs to manage pages directly as that is how transactions
are delivered: Each process has an mmap'd region for incoming
transactions. When an incoming transaction arrives, the Binder driver
will choose a region in the mmap, allocate and map the relevant pages
manually, and copy the incoming transaction directly into the page. This
architecture allows the driver to copy transactions directly from the
address space of one process to another, without an intermediate copy
to a kernel buffer.
This code is based on Wedson's page abstractions from the old rust
branch, but it has been modified by Alice by removing the incomplete
support for higher-order pages, by introducing the `with_*` helpers
to consolidate the bounds checking logic into a single place, and
various other changes.

Make it possible to allocate memory that doesn't need to mapped into the
kernel's address space. This flag is useful together with
Page::alloc_page [1].
Rust Binder needs this for the memory that holds incoming transactions
for each process. Each process will have a few megabytes of memory
allocated with this flag, which is mapped into the process using
vm_insert_page. When the kernel copies data for an incoming transaction
into a process's memory region, it will use kmap_local_page to
temporarily map pages that are being modified. There is no need for them
to take up address space in the kernel when the kernel is not writing an
incoming transaction into the page.

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:
error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
--> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
|
38 | use crate::bindings;
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude
Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.
Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

With the adoption of `BoxExt` and `VecExt`, we don't need the functions
provided by this feature (namely the methods prefixed with `try_` and
different allocator per collection instance).
We do need `AllocError`, but we define our own as it is a trivial empty
struct.

Make fallible versions of `new` and `new_uninit` methods available in
`Box` even though it doesn't implement them because we build `alloc`
with the `no_global_oom_handling` config.
They also have an extra `flags` parameter that allows callers to pass
flags to the allocator.

We'll use them when allocating `Box`, `Arc`, and `UniqueArc` instances,
as well as when allocating memory for `Vec` elements. These changes will

Make `try_with_capacity`, `try_push`, and `try_extend_from_slice`
methods available in `Vec` even though it doesn't implement them. It is
implemented with `try_reserve` and `push_within_capacity`.
This is in preparation for switching to the upstream `alloc` crate.
