Subject: [PATCH 2/4] rust: io: move ResourceSize to top-level io module

Resource sizes are a general concept for dealing with physical
addresses, and not specific to the Resource type, which is just one way
to access physical addresses. Thus, move the typedef to the io module.

Still keep a re-export under resource. This avoids this commit from
being a flag-day, but I also think it's a useful re-export in general so
that you can import

	use kernel::io::resource::{Resource, ResourceSize};

instead of having to write

	use kernel::io::{
	    resource::Resource,
	    ResourceSize,
	};

in the specific cases where you need ResourceSize because you are using
the Resource type. Therefore I think it makes sense to keep this
re-export indefinitely and it is *not* intended as a temporary re-export
for migration purposes.
