Subject: [PATCH v4 1/6] rust: switch to `#[expect(...)]` in core modules

This makes it clear that the warning is expected not just
ignored, so we don't end up having various unnecessary
linting rules in the codebase.

Some parts of the codebase already use this approach, this
patch just applies it more broadly.

No functional changes.
