A port to Rust of the Android Binder IPC mechanism.

This module is a work in progress and will be sent for review later
on, as well as separately from the Rust support.

However, it is included to show how an actual working module
written in Rust may look like.
Have you all tested this against the userspace binder tests?  And is it
up to date with the features of the in-kernel binder driver?
Very little has changed here since the last submission, namely: using
credentials for security callbacks, and replacing `Arc` with `Ref` (i.e., using
refcount_t to manage ref-counted allocations).

As the message tries to indicate, this is submitted as an example and WIP, it
doesn't have feature parity with the C version yet.
You might want to say that in the changelog text so I don't keep asking
every time it gets posted :)

thanks,
