[PATCH v2 0/4] rust: a few common Borrow/BorrowMut implementations

[Alexandre Courbot <acourbot@nvidia.com>]

The Borrow trait has multiple uses, one of them being to store either an
owned value or a reference to it inside a generic container. This series
adds these implementations for `Box`, `Arc`, `Vec`, and `CString`. I
came across the need for this while experimenting with the scatterlist
abstraction series [1].

This second revision adds examples to each impl block as requested. I am
personally not quite convinced that they are needed, as they just
illustrate the basic usage of `Borrow`, but have added them to this
revision so we can decide whether we want them or not.
