Wrap access to errno, for use in the block layer and character device
bindings.
This first version of errno.rs focuses on io::Result. Kevin
suggested allowing conversion from io::Error to negative errno.
For now, I'd rather avoid that to encourage separation between code
that can propagate errors simply with "?", and code at the Rust/C
boundary that needs errno::into_neg_errno(). Since Rust code rarely
passes or returns Error objects that aren't part of a Result, it is
plausible that the same is true of QEMU.
However, if this turns out to be wrong, then it can be changed.

Supersedes: <20250212093958.3703269-1-pbonzini@redhat.com>
v2->v3:
- add libc to subprojects/.gitignore
- change subject to reflect the focus to be Result rather than Error
- fix docs
v1->v2:
- use the libc crate
- provide separate From<Errno> implementation for io::ErrorKind
- hide GetErrno trait inside a submodule
- add into_neg_errno() and corresponding tests
- add more doctests
- make Errno field public, so that Errno can have other From<...>
implementations (e.g. going from *mut Error to Errno).

rust: subprojects: add libc crate
rust: add module to convert between success/-errno and io::Result
