Subject: [PATCH v4 2/7] rust: hrtimer: Add HrTimer::raw_forward() and forward()

Within the hrtimer API there are quite a number of functions that can only
be safely called from one of two contexts:

* When we have exclusive access to the hrtimer and the timer is not active.
* When we're within the hrtimer's callback context as it is being executed.

This commit adds bindings for hrtimer_forward() for the first such context,
along with HrTimer::raw_forward() for later use in implementing the
hrtimer_forward() in the latter context.

V4:
* Fix the safety contract for raw_forward()
* Require Pin<&mut Self>, not &mut self
* Drop incorrect UniquePin example
* Rewrite documentation a bit (re: Andreas)
