[PATCH v8 4/5] rust: pci: add config space read/write support

Drivers might need to access PCI config space for querying capability
structures and access the registers inside the structures.

For Rust drivers need to access PCI config space, the Rust PCI abstraction
needs to support it in a way that upholds Rust's safety principles.

Introduce a `ConfigSpace` wrapper in Rust PCI abstraction to provide safe
accessors for PCI config space. The new type implements the `Io` trait to
share offset validation and bound-checking logic with others.
