Subject: [PATCH v2] rust: alloc: implement `extend` for `Vec`

KVec currently has `extend_with` and `extend_from_slice` methods, but no
way extend a vector from a regular iterator as provided by the `Extend`
trait.

Due to the need to provide the GFP flags, `Extend` cannot be implemented
directly, so simply define a homonymous method that takes an extra
`flags` argument.

The aforementioned `extend_with` and `extend_from_slice` can then be
reimplemented as direct invocations of this new method - maybe they can
eventually be removed.

I was a bit surprised to find no equivalent of the `Extend` trait for
KVec, and while I anticipate to be told the reason for this, I also
didn't hit any hard wall trying to come with my own implementation so
here it is.

I expect the new `extend_with` and `extend_from_slice` to be optimized
into something close to their previous implementations, but am not sure
how I can simply verify that this is the case - any hint would be
appreciated!

Changes in v2:
- Changed the diff algorithm to histogram for a more readable patch.
