rust: add `Alignment` type

Alignment operations are very common in the kernel. Since they are
always performed using a power-of-two value, enforcing this invariant
through a dedicated type leads to fewer bugs and can improve the
generated code.

Introduce the `Alignment` type, inspired by the nightly Rust type of the
same name and providing the same interface, and a new `Alignable` trait
allowing unsigned integers to be aligned up or down.
