rust: map `long` to `isize` and `char` to `u8`

The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`:

1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses
`-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform
default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned.

2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the
kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in
fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this
mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can
save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

[ Moved `uaccess` changes from the next commit, since they were
irrefutable patterns that Rust >= 1.82.0 warns about. Reworded
slightly and reformatted a few documentation comments. Rebased on
top of `rust-next`. Added the removal of two casts to avoid Clippy
warnings. - Miguel ]

rust: use custom FFI integer types

Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.

This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.

[ Added `rustdoc`, `rusttest` and KUnit tests support. Rebased on top of
`rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate
docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ]
