[PATCH 6.12.y 34/60] rust: alloc: introduce `ArrayLayout`

[Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>]

From: Benno Lossin <benno.lossin@proton.me>

commit 9e7bbfa182767f638ba61dba3518ff78da9f31ff upstream.

When allocating memory for arrays using allocators, the `Layout::array`
function is typically used. It returns a result, since the given size
might be too big. However, `Vec` and its iterators store their allocated
capacity and thus they already did check that the size is not too big.

The `ArrayLayout` type provides this exact behavior, as it can be
infallibly converted into a `Layout`. Instead of a `usize` capacity,
`Vec` and other similar array-storing types can use `ArrayLayout`
instead.
