The following FFI types are replaced compared to `core::ffi`:
1. `char` type is now always mapped to `u8`, since kernel uses
`-funsigned-char` on the C code. `core::ffi` maps it to platform
default ABI, which can be either signed or unsigned.
2. `long` is now always mapped to `isize`. It's very common in the
kernel to use `long` to represent a pointer-sized integer, and in
fact `intptr_t` is a typedef of `long` in the kernel. Enforce this
mapping rather than mapping to `i32/i64` depending on platform can
save us a lot of unnecessary casts.

[ Moved `uaccess` changes from the next commit, since they were
irrefutable patterns that Rust >= 1.82.0 warns about. Reworded
slightly and reformatted a few documentation comments. Rebased on
top of `rust-next`. Added the removal of two casts to avoid Clippy
warnings. - Miguel ]

The function Device::from_raw() increments a refcount by a call to
bindings::get_device(ptr). This can be confused because usually
from_raw() functions don't increment a refcount.
Hence, rename Device::from_raw() to avoid confuion with other "from_raw"
semantics.
The new name of function should be "get_device" to be consistent with
the function get_device() already exist in .c files.
This function body also changed, because the `into()` will convert the
`&'a Device` into `ARef<Device>` and also call `inc_ref` from the
`AlwaysRefCounted` trait implemented for Device.

`request_internal` must be called with one of the following function
pointers: request_firmware(), firmware_request_nowarn(),
firmware_request_platform() or request_firmware_direct().
The previous `FwFunc` alias did not guarantee this, which is unsound.
In order to fix this up, implement `FwFunc` as new type with a
corresponding type invariant.

The doctests of `Firmware` are compile-time only tests, since they
require a proper `Device` and a valid path to a (firmware) blob in order
to do something sane on runtime - we can't satisfy both of those
requirements.
Hence, configure the example as `no_run`.
Unfortunately, the kernel's Rust build system can't consider the
`no_run` attribute yet. Hence, for the meantime, wrap the example code
into a new function and never actually call it.

Add an abstraction around the kernels firmware API to request firmware
images. The abstraction provides functions to access the firmware's size
and backing buffer.
The firmware is released once the abstraction instance is dropped.
