[RFC PATCH v2 1/3] rust: crypto: add library AES-128 / SHA-256 / HMAC-SHA256 bindings

[Mike Lothian <mike@fireburn.co.uk>]

Add a small `kernel::crypto` module exposing the kernel's synchronous
library crypto (lib/crypto) to Rust: SHA-256, HMAC-SHA256 and single-block
AES-128 ECB. These are one-shot, allocation-free and run in the calling
context, suitable for in-kernel Rust users that need a hash or a block
cipher without the full asynchronous crypto API.

SHA-256 (`sha256()`) and HMAC-SHA256 (`hmac_sha256_usingrawkey()`) are
plain exported functions and are bound directly via bindgen, so their
header `<crypto/sha2.h>` is added to bindings_helper.h. AES single-block
encryption goes through a `rust_helper_` shim because `aes_encrypt()` takes
a transparent union (`aes_encrypt_arg`) that bindgen cannot express; the
shim also zeroes the expanded key schedule before returning.

The Rust API: `crypto::sha256(&[u8]) -> [u8; 32]`,
`crypto::hmac_sha256(key, data) -> [u8; 32]`, and the `crypto::Aes128`
type, created with `Aes128::new(key)` and used via
`encrypt_block(&[u8; 16]) -> Result<[u8; 16]>`.
