Zhao Liu b131003721 rust/vmstate: Support vmstate_validate
In C version, VMSTATE_VALIDATE accepts the function pointer, which is
used to check if some conditions of structure could meet, although the
C version macro doesn't accept any structure as the opaque type.

But it's hard to integrate VMSTATE_VALIDAE into vmstate_struct, a new
macro has to be introduced to specifically handle the case corresponding
to VMSTATE_VALIDATE.

One of the difficulties is inferring the type of a callback by its name
`test_fn`. We can't directly use `test_fn` as a parameter of
test_cb_builder__() to get its type "F", because in this way, Rust
compiler will be too conservative on drop check and complain "the
destructor for this type cannot be evaluated in constant functions".

Fortunately, PhantomData<T> could help in this case, because it is
considered to never have a destructor, no matter its field type [*].

The `phantom__()` in the `call_func_with_field` macro provides a good
example of using PhantomData to infer type. So copy this idea and apply
it to the `vmstate_validate` macro.

QEMU bindings and API wrappers

This library exports helper Rust types, Rust macros and C FFI bindings for internal QEMU APIs.

The C bindings can be generated with bindgen, using this build target:

$ make bindings.inc.rs

Generate Rust documentation

Common Cargo tasks can be performed from the QEMU build directory

$ make clippy
$ make rustfmt
$ make rustdoc
