Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 1/7] rust: add useful ops for u64

It is common to build a u64 from its high and low parts obtained from
two 32-bit registers. Conversely, it is also common to split a u64 into
two u32s to write them into registers. Add an extension trait for u64
that implement these methods in a new `num` module.

It is expected that this trait will be extended with other useful
operations, and similar extension traits implemented for other types.
