Add traits that let client cast typecast safely between object types.
In particular, an upcast is compile-time guaranteed to succeed, and a
YOLO C-style downcast must be marked as unsafe.
The traits are based on an IsA<> trait that declares what
is a subclass of what, which is an idea taken from glib-rs
(https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/object/trait.IsA.html).
The four primitives are also taken from there
(https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/object/trait.Cast.html). However,
the implementation of casting itself is a bit different and uses the
Deref trait.
This removes some pointer arithmetic from the pl011 device; it is also a
prerequisite for the definition of methods, so that they can be invoked
on all subclass structs. This will use the IsA<> trait to detect the
structs that support the methods.
glib also has a "monadic" casting trait which could be implemented on
Option (as in https://docs.rs/glib/latest/glib/object/trait.CastNone.html)
and perhaps even Result. For now I'm leaving it out, as the patch is
already big enough and the benefit seems debatable.

Many lints that default to allow can be helpful in detecting bugs or
keeping the code style homogeneous. Add them liberally, though perhaps
not as liberally as in hw/char/pl011/src/lib.rs. In particular, enabling
entire groups can be problematic because of bitrot when new links are
added in the future.
For Clippy, this is actually a feature that is only present in Cargo
1.74.0 but, since we are not using Cargo to *build* QEMU, only developers
will need a new-enough cargo and only to run tools such as clippy.
The requirement does not apply to distros that are building QEMU.

Make Cargo use unknown_lints = "allow" as well. This is more future
proof as we might add new lints to rust/Cargo.toml that are not supported
by older versions of rustc or clippy.

An extra benefit of workspaces is that they allow to place lint level
settings in a single Cargo.toml; the settings are then inherited by
packages in the workspace.
Correspondingly, teach rustc_args.py to get the unexpected_cfgs
configuration from the workspace Cargo.toml.
Note that it is still possible to allow or deny warnings per crate or
module, via the #![] attribute syntax. The rust/qemu-api/src/bindings.rs
file is an example.

Workspaces allows tracking dependencies for multiple crates at once,
by having a single Cargo.lock file at the top of the rust/ tree.
Because QEMU's Cargo.lock files have to be synchronized with the versions
of crates in subprojects/, using a workspace avoids the need to copy
over the Cargo.lock file when adding a new device (and thus a new crate)
under rust/hw/.
In addition, workspaces let cargo download and build dependencies just
once. While right now we have one leaf crate (hw/char/pl011), this
will not be the case once more devices are added.
