Subject: [PATCH v3 3/7] rust: property: Introduce PropertyGuard

This abstraction is a way to force users to specify whether a property
is supposed to be required or not. This allows us to move error
logging of missing required properties into core, preventing a lot of
boilerplate in drivers.

It will be used by upcoming methods for reading device properties.
