[PATCH 02/10] rust: driver: simplify `IdArray::new_without_index`

This method can very easily construct the `IdArray` on its own without
delegating to `Self::build`. Doing so also simplifies the phy device table
macro because it does not need to construct tuples anymore.

This also allows simplification of `new` and `build` which removes the
`unsafe`.
