rust: io: mem: return DevresLt from IoMem/ExclusiveIoMem::into_devres()

Implement ForLt and CovariantForLt for IoMem<'static, SIZE> and
ExclusiveIoMem<'static, SIZE> so that DevresLt can shorten the stored
'static lifetime back to the caller's borrow lifetime.

CovariantForLt is sound because both types only hold &'a Device<Bound>,
which is covariant over 'a.

Since DevresLt::new() handles the lifetime transmutation internally,
into_devres() no longer needs an explicit transmute to 'static.

Add DevresIoMem<SIZE> and DevresExclusiveIoMem<SIZE> type aliases.
