rust: types: introduce `ScopeGuard`

This allows us to run some code when the guard is dropped (e.g.,
implicitly when it goes out of scope). We can also prevent the
guard from running by calling its `dismiss()` method.

+/// Runs a cleanup function/closure when dropped.
+///
+/// The [`ScopeGuard::dismiss`] function prevents the cleanup function from running.
+///
+/// # Examples
+///
+/// In the example below, we have multiple exit paths and we want to log regardless of which one is
+/// taken:
+/// ```
+/// # use kernel::ScopeGuard;
+/// fn example1(arg: bool) {
+///     let _log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example1 completed\n"));
+///
+///     if arg {
+///         return;
+///     }
+///
+///     pr_info!("Do something...\n");
+/// }
+///
+/// # example1(false);
+/// # example1(true);
+/// ```
+///
+/// In the example below, we want to log the same message on all early exits but a different one on
+/// the main exit path:
+/// ```
+/// # use kernel::ScopeGuard;
+/// fn example2(arg: bool) {
+///     let log = ScopeGuard::new(|| pr_info!("example2 returned early\n"));
+///
+///     if arg {
+///         return;
+///     }
+///
+///     // (Other early returns...)
+///
+///     log.dismiss();
+///     pr_info!("example2 no early return\n");
+/// }
+///
+/// # example2(false);
+/// # example2(true);
+/// ```
+///
+/// In the example below, we need a mutable object (the vector) to be accessible within the log
+/// function, so we wrap it in the [`ScopeGuard`]:
+/// ```
+/// # use kernel::ScopeGuard;
+/// fn example3(arg: bool) -> Result {
+///     let mut vec =
+///         ScopeGuard::new_with_data(Vec::new(), |v| pr_info!("vec had {} elements\n", v.len()));
+///
+///     vec.try_push(10u8)?;
+///     if arg {
+///         return Ok(());
+///     }
+///     vec.try_push(20u8)?;
+///     Ok(())
+/// }
+///
+/// # assert_eq!(example3(false), Ok(()));
+/// # assert_eq!(example3(true), Ok(()));
+/// ```
+///
+/// # Invariants
+///
+/// The value stored in the struct is nearly always `Some(_)`, except between
+/// [`ScopeGuard::dismiss`] and [`ScopeGuard::drop`]: in this case, it will be `None` as the value
+/// will have been returned to the caller. Since  [`ScopeGuard::dismiss`] consumes the guard,
+/// callers won't be able to use it anymore.
