rust: module: introduce `authors` key

In the `module!` macro, the `author` field is currently of type `String`.

Since modules can have multiple authors, this limitation prevents
specifying more than one.

Add an `authors` field as `Option<Vec<String>>` to allow creating
modules with multiple authors, and change the documentation and all
current users to use it. Eventually, the single `author` field may
be removed.

[ The `modinfo` key needs to still be `author`; otherwise, tooling
may not work properly, e.g.:

$ modinfo --author samples/rust/rust_print.ko
Rust for Linux Contributors

I have also kept the original `author` field (undocumented), so
that we can drop it more easily in a kernel cycle or two.

rust/faux: Add missing parent argument to Registration::new()

A little late in the review of the faux device interface, we added the
ability to specify a parent device when creating new faux devices - but
this never got ported over to the rust bindings. So, let's add the missing
argument now so we don't have to convert other users later down the line.

rust/kernel: Add faux device bindings

This introduces a module for working with faux devices in rust, along with
adding sample code to show how the API is used. Unlike other types of
devices, we don't provide any hooks for device probe/removal - since these
are optional for the faux API and are unnecessary in rust.
