rust: support running Rust documentation tests as KUnit ones
Rust has documentation tests: these are typically examples of
usage of any item (e.g. function, struct, module...).
They are very convenient because they are just written
alongside the documentation. For instance:
/// Sums two numbers.
///
/// ```
/// assert_eq!(mymod::f(10, 20), 30);
/// ```
pub fn f(a: i32, b: i32) -> i32 {
a + b
}
In userspace, the tests are collected and run via `rustdoc`.
Using the tool as-is would be useful already, since it allows
to compile-test most tests (thus enforcing they are kept
in sync with the code they document) and run those that do not
depend on in-kernel APIs.
However, by transforming the tests into a KUnit test suite,
they can also be run inside the kernel. Moreover, the tests
get to be compiled as other Rust kernel objects instead of
targeting userspace.
On top of that, the integration with KUnit means the Rust
support gets to reuse the existing testing facilities. ...
