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: use std::os::raw instead of core::ffi

core::ffi::c_* types were introduced in Rust 1.64.0. Use the older types
in std::os::raw, which are now aliases of the types in core::ffi. There is
no need to compile QEMU as no_std, so this is acceptable as long as we support
a version of Debian with Rust 1.63.0.

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.

Follow the Rust filesystem conventions, where tests go in tests/ if
they use the library in the same way any other code would.
