Tamir Duberstein c5cf01ba8d rust: support formatting of foreign types
Introduce a `fmt!` macro which wraps all arguments in
`kernel::fmt::Adapter` and a `kernel::fmt::Display` trait. This enables
formatting of foreign types (like `core::ffi::CStr`) that do not
implement `core::fmt::Display` due to concerns around lossy conversions
which do not apply in the kernel.

Tamir Duberstein bda947d613 rust: kernel: add `fmt` module
`kernel::fmt` is a facade over `core::fmt` that can be used downstream,
allowing future changes to the formatting machinery to be contained
within the kernel crate without downstream code needing to be modified.
