ISO C's `aligned_alloc` is partially implementation-defined; on some
systems it inherits stricter requirements from POSIX's `posix_memalign`.
This causes the call added in commit dd09538fb4 ("rust: alloc:
implement `Cmalloc` in module allocator_test") to fail on macOS because
it doesn't meet the requirements of `posix_memalign`.
Adjust the call to meet the POSIX requirement and add a comment. This
fixes failures in `make rusttest` on macOS.

Previously, the `ForeignOwnable` trait had a method called `borrow_mut`
that was intended to provide mutable access to the inner value. However,
the method accidentally made it possible to change the address of the
object being modified, which usually isn't what we want. (And when we
want that, it can be done by calling `from_foreign` and `into_foreign`,
like how the old `borrow_mut` was implemented.)
In this patch, we introduce an alternate definition of `borrow_mut` that
solves the previous problem. Conceptually, given a pointer type `P` that
implements `ForeignOwnable`, the `borrow_mut` method gives you the same
kind of access as an `&mut P` would, except that it does not let you
change the pointer `P` itself.
This is analogous to how the existing `borrow` method provides the same
kind of access to the inner value as an `&P`.
Note that for types like `Arc`, having an `&mut Arc<T>` only gives you
immutable access to the inner `T`. This is because mutable references
assume exclusive access, but there might be other handles to the same
reference counted value, so the access isn't exclusive. The `Arc` type
implements this by making `borrow_mut` return the same type as `borrow`.

Now that we have our own `Allocator`, `Box` and `Vec` types we can remove
Rust's `alloc` crate and the `new_uninit` unstable feature.
Also remove `Kmalloc`'s `GlobalAlloc` implementation -- we can't remove
this in a separate patch, since the `alloc` crate requires a
`#[global_allocator]` to set, that implements `GlobalAlloc`.

So far the kernel's `Box` and `Vec` types can't be used by userspace
test cases, since all users of those types (e.g. `CString`) use kernel
allocators for instantiation.
In order to allow userspace test cases to make use of such types as
well, implement the `Cmalloc` allocator within the allocator_test module
and type alias all kernel allocators to `Cmalloc`. The `Cmalloc`
allocator uses libc's `realloc()` function as allocator backend.

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.

All of the named functions share the same function signature and

generalized wrapper around those, to trivialize the implementation of
`Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` and `KVmalloc` in subsequent patches.
