rust: cred: add Rust abstraction for `struct cred`
Add a wrapper around `struct cred` called `Credential`, and provide functionality to get the `Credential` associated with a `File`. Rust Binder must check the credentials of processes when they attempt to perform various operations, and these checks usually take a `&Credential` as parameter. The security_binder_set_context_mgr function would be one example. This patch is necessary to access these security_* methods from Rust. This Rust abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side: * `struct cred` is refcounted with `get_cred`/`put_cred`. * It's okay to transfer a `struct cred` across threads, that is, you do not need to call `put_cred` on the same thread as where you called `get_cred`. * The `euid` field of a `struct cred` never changes after initialization. * The `f_cred` field of a `struct file` never changes after initialization.
