rust: debugfs: Add support for callback-based files

Extends the `debugfs` API to support creating files with content
generated and updated by callbacks. This is done via the
`read_callback_file`, `write_callback_file`, and
`read_write_callback_file` methods.

These methods allow for more flexible file definition, either because
the type already has a `Writer` or `Reader` method that doesn't
do what you'd like, or because you cannot implement it (e.g. because
it's a type defined in another crate or a primitive type).
