rust: dma: use pointer projection infra for `dma_{read,write}` macro
Current `dma_read!`, `dma_write!` macros also use a custom `addr_of!()`-based implementation for projecting pointers, which has soundness issue as it relies on absence of `Deref` implementation on types. It also has a soundness issue where it does not protect against unaligned fields (when `#[repr(packed)]` is used) so it can generate misaligned accesses. This commit migrates them to use the general pointer projection infrastructure, which handles these cases correctly. As part of migration, the macro is updated to have an improved surface syntax. The current macro have dma_read!(a.b.c[d].e.f) to mean `a.b.c` is a DMA coherent allocation and it should project into it with `[d].e.f` and do a read, which is confusing as it makes the indexing operator integral to the macro (so it will break if you have an array of `CoherentAllocation`, for example). This also is problematic as we would like to generalize `CoherentAllocation` from just slices to arbitrary types. Make the macro expects `dma_read!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma)` as the canonical syntax. The index operator is no longer special and is just one type of projection (in additional to field projection). Similarly, make `dma_write!(path.to.dma, .path.inside.dma, value)` become the canonical syntax for writing. Another issue of the current macro is that it is always fallible. This makes sense with existing design of `CoherentAllocation`, but once we support fixed size arrays with `CoherentAllocation`, it is desirable to have the ability to perform infallible indexing as well, e.g. doing a `[0]` index of `[Foo; 2]` is okay and can be checked at build-time, so forcing falliblity is non-ideal. To capture this, the macro is changed to use `[idx]` as infallible projection and `[idx]?` as fallible index projection (those syntax are part of the general projection infra). A benefit of this is that while individual indexing operation may fail, the overall read/write operation is not fallible.
