Convert `pub use ffi` to `pub mod ffi` in lib.rs and create the
corresponding `rust/kernel/ffi/mod.rs` module file. Also re-export all C
type definitions from `ffi` crate so that existing `kernel::ffi::c_int`
etc. paths continue to work.

This prepares the ffi module to host additional sub-modules in later
patches (clist).
