Rust bindings for libguestfs

Summary: Create Rust bindings for libguestfs

libguestfs is a library with tools to manipulate disk images. The C library has already lots of bindings, such as Python, Perl, Ruby, OCaml, etc.

The goal of this project is to add also bindings for Rust, extending the internal OCaml tool that generates most of the code needed for each binding, adding the manual bits needed for the Rust binding, and adding tests modelled after the ones already available for other bindings.
