Currently, we can't implement `FromIterator`. There are a couple of
issues with this trait in the kernel, namely:
- Rust's specialization feature is unstable. This prevents us to
optimize for the special case where `I::IntoIter` equals `Vec`'s
`IntoIter` type.
- We also can't use `I::IntoIter`'s type ID either to work around this,
since `FromIterator` doesn't require this type to be `'static`.
- `FromIterator::from_iter` does return `Self` instead of
`Result<Self, AllocError>`, hence we can't properly handle allocation
failures.
- Neither `Iterator::collect` nor `FromIterator::from_iter` can handle
additional allocation flags.
Instead, provide `IntoIter::collect`, such that we can at least convert
`IntoIter` into a `Vec` again.

Implement `IntoIterator` for `Vec`, `Vec`'s `IntoIter` type, as well as
`Iterator` for `IntoIter`.
`Vec::into_iter` disassembles the `Vec` into its raw parts; additionally,
`IntoIter` keeps track of a separate pointer, which is incremented
correspondingly as the iterator advances, while the length, or the count
of elements, is decremented.
This also means that `IntoIter` takes the ownership of the backing
buffer and is responsible to drop the remaining elements and free the
backing buffer, if it's dropped.

`Vec` provides a contiguous growable array type with contents allocated
with the kernel's allocators (e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`).
In contrast to Rust's stdlib `Vec` type, the kernel `Vec` type considers
the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains
independent from unstable features.
[ This patch starts using a new unstable feature, `inline_const`, but
it was stabilized in Rust 1.79.0, i.e. the next version after the
minimum one, thus it will not be an issue. - Miguel ]

When allocating memory for arrays using allocators, the `Layout::array`
function is typically used. It returns a result, since the given size
might be too big. However, `Vec` and its iterators store their allocated
capacity and thus they already did check that the size is not too big.
The `ArrayLayout` type provides this exact behavior, as it can be
infallibly converted into a `Layout`. Instead of a `usize` capacity,
`Vec` and other similar array-storing types can use `ArrayLayout`
instead.

`Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type
with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or
`KVmalloc`.
In contrast to Rust's `Box` type, the kernel `Box` type considers the
kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports
allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains
independent from unstable features.

`Allocator`s, such as `Kmalloc`, will be used by e.g. `Box` and `Vec` in
subsequent patches, and hence this dependency propagates throughout the
whole kernel.
Add the `allocator_test` module that provides an empty implementation
for all `Allocator`s in the kernel, such that we don't break the
`rusttest` make target in subsequent patches.

`ReallocFunc` is an abstraction for the kernel's realloc derivates, such
as `krealloc`, `vrealloc` and `kvrealloc`.
All of the named functions share the same function signature and
implement the same semantics. The `ReallocFunc` abstractions provides a
generalized wrapper around those, to trivialize the implementation of
`Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` in subsequent patches.
