Subject: [PATCH v3 05/10] rust: uaccess: add UserSliceWriter::write_slice_file()

Add UserSliceWriter::write_slice_file(), which is the same as
UserSliceWriter::write_slice_partial() but updates the given
file::Offset by the number of bytes written.

This is equivalent to C's `simple_read_from_buffer()` and useful when
dealing with file offsets from file operations.
