The DRM shmem helper includes common code useful for drivers which
allocate GEM objects as anonymous shmem. Add a Rust abstraction for
this. Drivers can choose the raw GEM implementation or the shmem layer,
depending on their needs.

[ * DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER is a tristate; when a module driver selects it,
it becomes =m. The Rust kernel crate and its C helpers are always
built into vmlinux and can't reference symbols from a module,
causing link errors.
Thus, add RUST_DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER bool Kconfig that selects
DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER, forcing it built-in when Rust drivers need it;
use cfg(CONFIG_RUST_DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER) for the shmem module.
* Add cfg_attr(not(CONFIG_RUST_DRM_GEM_SHMEM_HELPER), expect(unused))
on pub(crate) use impl_aref_for_gem_obj and BaseObjectPrivate, so
that unused warnings are suppressed when shmem is not enabled.
* Enable const_refs_to_static (stabilized in 1.83) to prevent build
errors with older compilers.
* Use &raw const for bindings::drm_gem_shmem_vm_ops and add
#[allow(unused_unsafe, reason = "Safe since Rust 1.82.0")].
* Fix incorrect C Header path and minor spelling and formatting
issues.
* Drop shmem::Object::sg_table() as the current implementation is
unsound.

DRM GEM is the DRM memory management subsystem used by most modern
drivers; add a Rust abstraction for DRM GEM.
This includes the BaseObject trait, which contains operations shared by
all GEM object classes.

[ Rework of GEM object abstractions
* switch to the Opaque<T> type
* fix (mutable) references to struct drm_gem_object (which in this
context is UB)
* drop all custom reference types in favor of AlwaysRefCounted
* bunch of minor changes and simplifications (e.g. IntoGEMObject
trait)
* write and fix safety and invariant comments
* remove necessity for and convert 'as' casts
