[RFC PATCH v4 0/7] Add Rust support, implement ARM PL011

[Manos Pitsidianakis]

Changes from v3->v4:
- Add rust-specific files to .gitattributes
- Added help text to scripts/cargo_wrapper.py arguments (thanks Stephan)
- Split bindings separate crate
- Add declarative macros for symbols exported to QEMU to said crate
- Lowered MSRV to 1.77.2
- Removed auto-download and install of bindgen-cli
- Fixed re-compilation of Rust objects in case they are missing from 
  filesystem
- Fixed optimized builds by adding #[used] (thanks Pierrick for the help 
  debugging this)

Also, Pierrick helped confirming it works on Windows with some 
windows-specific changes. I confirmed it works on macos by allowing 
bindgen to detect system paths for clang, which is a workaround and not 
a solution. However this series doesn't have the windows changes 
integrated.

Changes from v2->v3:
- Addressed minor mistakes (thanks Stefan)
- Setup supported version checks for cargo, rustc and bindgen (thanks 
  everyone who pointed it out / suggested it)
- Fixed problem with bindgen failing if certain system headers where 
  needed by defining an allowlist for headers instead of a blocklist for 
  what we don't want (thanks Alex Bennée for reporting it)
- Cleaned up bindgen target/dependendy definition in meson.build by 
  removing unnecessary bits

Changes from v1->v2:
- Create bindgen target first, then add commit for device (thanks 
  Pierrick)
- Create a special named generated.rs for each target as compilation 
  would fail if more than one targets were defined. The generated.rs 
  target names would clash.
- Add more descriptive commit messages
- Update MAINTAINERS
- Cleanup patch order for better review, hopefully


Manos Pitsidianakis (7):
  build-sys: Add rust feature option
  rust: add bindgen step as a meson dependency
  rust: add crate to expose bindings and interfaces
  rust: add PL011 device model
  .gitattributes: add Rust diff and merge attributes
  DO NOT MERGE: add rustdoc build for gitlab pages
  DO NOT MERGE: replace TYPE_PL011 with x-pl011-rust in arm virt machine
