`kernel::ffi::CStr` was introduced in commit d126d23801 ("rust: str:
add `CStr` type") in November 2022 as an upstreaming of earlier work
that was done in May 2021[0]. That earlier work, having predated the
inclusion of `CStr` in `core`, largely duplicated the implementation of
`std::ffi::CStr`.
`std::ffi::CStr` was moved to `core::ffi::CStr` in Rust 1.64 in
September 2022. Hence replace `kernel::str::CStr` with `core::ffi::CStr`
to reduce our custom code footprint, and retain needed custom
functionality through an extension trait.
Add `CStr` to `ffi` and the kernel prelude.

[ Removed assert that would now depend on the Rust version. - Miguel ]

Introduces the concept of a `ScopedDir`, which allows for the creation
of debugfs directories and files that are tied to the lifetime of a
particular data structure. This ensures that debugfs entries do not
outlive the data they refer to.
The new `Dir::scope` method creates a new directory that is owned by a
`Scope` handle. All files and subdirectories created within this scope
are automatically cleaned up when the `Scope` is dropped.

Extends the `debugfs` API to support creating read-only files. This
is done via the `Dir::read_only_file` method, which takes a data object
that implements the `Writer` trait.
The file's content is generated by the `Writer` implementation, and the
file is automatically removed when the returned `File` handle is
dropped.

Adds a `debugfs::Dir` type that can be used to create and remove
DebugFS directories. The `Dir` handle automatically cleans up the
directory on `Drop`.
