Introduce Rust support for the `xarray` data structure:
- Add a rust abstraction for the `xarray` data structure. This abstraction
allows rust code to leverage the `xarray` to store types that implement
`ForeignOwnable`. This support is a dependency for memory backing feature of
the rust null block driver, which is waiting to be merged.
- Set up an entry in MAINTAINERS for the xarray rust support. Patches will go
to the new rust xarray tree and then via the rust subsystem tree for now.
`kernel` crate:
- Allow `ForeignOwnable` to carry information about the pointed-to type. This
helps asserting alignment requirements for the pointer passed to the foreign
language.
