rust: add pin-init API core
This API is used to facilitate safe pinned initialization of structs. It replaces cumbersome `unsafe` manual initialization with elegant safe macro invocations. Due to the size of this change it has been split into six commits: 1. This commit introducing the basic public interface: traits and functions to represent and create initializers. 2. Adds the `#[pin_data]`, `pin_init!`, `try_pin_init!`, `init!` and `try_init!` macros along with their internal types. 3. Adds the `InPlaceInit` trait that allows using an initializer to create an object inside of a `Box<T>` and other smart pointers. 4. Adds the `PinnedDrop` trait and adds macro support for it in the `#[pin_data]` macro. 5. Adds the `stack_pin_init!` macro allowing to pin-initialize a struct on the stack. 6. Adds the `Zeroable` trait and `init::zeroed` function to initialize types that have `0x00` in all bytes as a valid bit pattern. -- In this section the problem that the new pin-init API solves is out...
