12 daysrust: add `Alignment` typeAlexandre Courbot
Alignment operations are very common in the kernel. Since they are always performed using a power-of-two value, enforcing this invariant through a dedicated type leads to fewer bugs and can improve the generated code. Introduce the `Alignment` type, inspired by the nightly Rust type of the same name and providing the same interface, and a new `Alignable` trait allowing unsigned integers to be aligned up or down.
