rust: use custom FFI integer types

commit d072acd upstream.

Currently FFI integer types are defined in libcore. This commit creates
the `ffi` crate and asks bindgen to use that crate for FFI integer types
instead of `core::ffi`.

This commit is preparatory and no type changes are made in this commit
yet.

[ Added `rustdoc`, `rusttest` and KUnit tests support. Rebased on top of
  `rust-next` (e.g. migrated more `core::ffi` cases). Reworded crate
  docs slightly and formatted. - Miguel ]
