Subject: [PATCH v10 4/7] rust: implement Class for ww_class support

Adds the Class type, the first step in supporting
ww_mutex in Rust. Class represents ww_class, used
for deadlock avoidance for supporting both wait-die
and wound-wait semantics.

Also adds the define_class macro for safely declaring
static instances.
