rust: transmute: Add methods for FromBytes trait

The two methods added take a slice of bytes and return those bytes in
a specific type. These methods are useful when we need to transform
the stream of bytes into specific type.

Since the `is_aligned` method for pointer types has been stabilized in
`1.79` version and is being used in this patch, I'm enabling the
feature. In this case, using this method is useful to check the
alignment and avoid a giant boilerplate, such as `(foo.as_ptr() as
usize) % core::mem::align_of::<T>() == 0`.

Also add `#[allow(clippy::incompatible_msrv)]` where needed until the
MSRV is updated to `1.79`.
