Subject: [PATCH 0/3] rust: Miscellaneous macro improvements

Hi everyone!

This short series is part of the set of dependencies for the drm/asahi
Apple M1/M2 GPU driver.

The first two patches make concat_idents!(bindings::foo, bar) work.
I use this later in the DRM abstractions to construct DRM IOCTL command
names [1], which avoids having to import all of bindings::*.

The third patch allows specifying multiple module aliases. Since modules
can have multiple aliases, the macro naturally needs to be able to take
an array instead of a single alias. I don't use this in the current
iteration of the driver, since I introduced proper support for automatic
modpost alias generation for Rust modules, but it can be useful both to
remove that support as a blocking factor (we can specify aliases manually
as a fallback), and for modules which need extra aliases not covered by
device ID tables.
