[PATCH v10 3/7] rust: pwm: Add complete abstraction layer

Introduce a comprehensive abstraction layer for the PWM subsystem to
enable writing drivers in Rust.

Because `Device`, `Chip`, and `PwmOps` all refer to each other, they
form a single, indivisible unit with circular dependencies. They are
introduced together in this single commit to create a complete,
compilable abstraction layer.

The main components are:
 - Data Wrappers: Safe, idiomatic wrappers for core C types like
   `pwm_device`, and `pwm_chip`.

 - PwmOps Trait: An interface that drivers can implement to provide
   their hardware-specific logic, mirroring the C `pwm_ops` interface.

 - FFI VTable and Adapter: A bridge to connect the high-level PwmOps trait
   to the C kernel's pwm_ops vtable.

 - Allocation and Lifetime Management: A high-level `Chip::new()`
   API to safely allocate a chip and a `Registration` guard that integrates
   with `devres` to manage the chip's registration with the PWM core.
   An `AlwaysRefCounted` implementation and a custom release handler
   prevent memory leaks by managing the chip's lifetime and freeing
   driver data correctly.
