Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] rust: init: add `write_[pin_]init` functions

Sometimes it is necessary to split allocation and initialization into
two steps. One such situation is when reusing existing allocations
obtained via `Box::drop_contents`. See [1] for an example.
In order to support this use case add `write_[pin_]init` functions to the
pin-init API. These functions operate on already allocated smart
pointers that wrap `MaybeUninit<T>`.
