[PATCH 1/5] rust: of: add Node type

[Albert Esteve <aesteve@redhat.com>]

Add a Rust abstraction for `struct device_node`, the device
tree node type.

`Node` wraps `device_node` type pointer and implements
`AlwaysRefCounted`, allowing owned references to device
tree nodes to be held. To do so, add C helpers to make
them always accesible from Rust bindings, independently
from the configuration.

This abstraction is needed for subsequent patches, in particular
for creating drm_panel instances from a `const struct device_node`
pointer argument.
