rust: introduce alternative implementation of offset_of!

offset_of! was stabilized in Rust 1.77.0. Use an alternative implemenation
that was found on the Rust forums, and whose author agreed to license as
MIT for use in QEMU.

The alternative allows only one level of field access, but apart
from this can be used just by replacing core::mem::offset_of! with
qemu_api::offset_of!.

The actual implementation of offset_of! is done in a declarative macro,
but for simplicity and to avoid introducing an extra level of indentation,
the trigger is a procedural macro #[derive(offsets)].

The procedural macro is perhaps a bit overengineered, but it helps
introducing some idioms that will be useful in the future as well.

rust: add definitions for vmstate

Add a new qemu_api module, `vmstate`. Declare a bunch of Rust
macros declared that are equivalent in spirit to the C macros in
include/migration/vmstate.h.

For example the Rust of equivalent of the C macro:

VMSTATE_UINT32(field_name, struct_name)

is:

vmstate_uint32!(field_name, StructName)

This breathtaking development will allow us to reach feature parity between
the Rust and C pl011 implementations.

rust: provide safe wrapper for MaybeUninit::zeroed()

MaybeUninit::zeroed() is handy, but it introduces unsafe (and has a
pretty heavy syntax in general). Introduce a trait that provides the
same functionality while staying within safe Rust.

In addition, MaybeUninit::zeroed() is not available as a "const"
function until Rust 1.75.0, so this also prepares for having handwritten
implementations of the trait until we can assume that version.

rust: add utility procedural macro crate

This commit adds a helper crate library, qemu-api-macros for derive (and
other procedural) macros to be used along qemu-api.

It needs to be a separate library because in Rust, procedural macros, or
macros that can generate arbitrary code, need to be special separate
compilation units.

Only one macro is introduced in this patch, #[derive(Object)]. It
generates a constructor to register a QOM TypeInfo on init and it must
be used on types that implement qemu_api::definitions::ObjectImpl trait.
