[PATCH 06/10] rust: qom: allow initializing interface vtables

[Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>]

Unlike regular classes, interface vtables can only be obtained via
object_class_dynamic_cast.  Provide a wrapper that allows accessing
the vtable and pass it to a ClassInitImpl implementation, for example
ClassInitImpl<ResettableClass>.
