rust: alloc: implement kernel `Vec` type



`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 ]

[ Cleaned `rustdoc` unescaped backtick warning, added a couple more
  backticks elsewhere, fixed typos, sorted `feature`s, rewrapped
  documentation lines. - Miguel ]
