In the `module!` macro, the `author` field is currently of type `String`.
Since modules can have multiple authors, this limitation prevents
specifying more than one.
Add an `authors` field as `Option<Vec<String>>` to allow creating
modules with multiple authors, and change the documentation and all
current users to use it. Eventually, the single `author` field may
be removed.
[ The `modinfo` key needs to still be `author`; otherwise, tooling
may not work properly, e.g.:
$ modinfo --author samples/rust/rust_print.ko
Rust for Linux Contributors
I have also kept the original `author` field (undocumented), so
that we can drop it more easily in a kernel cycle or two.

The `RegistrationOps` trait holds some obligations to the caller and
implementers. While being documented, the trait and the corresponding
functions haven't been marked as unsafe.
Hence, markt the trait and functions unsafe and add the corresponding
safety comments.
This patch does not include any fuctional changes.

Implement the basic platform bus abstractions required to write a basic
platform driver. This includes the following data structures:
The `platform::Driver` trait represents the interface to the driver and
provides `platform::Driver::probe` for the driver to implement.
The `platform::Device` abstraction represents a `struct platform_device`.
In order to provide the platform bus specific parts to a generic
`driver::Registration` the `driver::RegistrationOps` trait is implemented
by `platform::Adapter`.
