[PATCH] rust: io: convert ResourceSize into a transparent newtype

[Lorenzo Delgado <lnsdev@proton.me>]

`ResourceSize` was a bare type alias for `resource_size_t`, so it
inherited every integer operation and `as` cast. That silently permits
operations that are meaningless for the size of a hardware resource:
mixing it with unrelated integers and truncating casts.

Wrap it in a `#[repr(transparent)]` newtype so each conversion at a
boundary becomes explicit and reviewable. The representation is
unchanged, so this is ABI-identical; only the spelling at the FFI
boundary changes. Provide the minimal conversion surface the call sites
need: `from_raw`/`into_raw`, `From` in both directions, and a fallible
`TryFrom<ResourceSize> for usize` for the page-count site that can
truncate on 32-bit. Update the two producers, `Resource::size` and
`SGEntry::dma_len`, and the `request_region` and nova-core consumers so
the tree builds green. Add doctest examples for the new type.

An earlier attempt at this conversion was posted by Moritz Zielke [1]. This
is a fresh, independent implementation that reuses none of that code; it
additionally converts the nova-core consumer and adds doctest examples.
