rust: error: allow specifying error type on `Result`

Currently, if the `kernel::error::Result` type is in scope (which is
often is, since it's in the kernel's prelude), you cannot write
`Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when you want to use a different error
type than `kernel::error::Error`.

To solve this we change the error type from being hard-coded to just
being a default generic parameter. This still lets you write `Result<T>`
when you just want to use the `Error` error type, but also lets you
write `Result<T, SomeOtherErrorType>` when necessary.
