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: macros: take string literals in `module!`

Instead of taking binary string literals, take string ones instead,
making it easier for users to define a module, i.e. instead of
calling `module!` like:

module! {
...
name: b"rust_minimal",
...
}

now it is called as:

module! {
...
name: "rust_minimal",
...
}

Module names, aliases and license strings are restricted to
ASCII only. However, the author and the description allows UTF-8.

For simplicity (avoid parsing), escape sequences and raw string
literals are not yet handled.

It also includes an example of a Rust host program with

These samples also double as tests in the CI.
