Subject: [PATCH v3 1/4] rust: add num module and Integer trait

Introduce the `num` module, which will provide numerical extensions and
utilities for the kernel.

For now, introduce the `Integer` trait, which is implemented for all
primitive integer types to provides their core properties to generic
code.
