rust: introduce InPlaceModule

This allows modules to be initialised in-place in pinned memory, which
enables the usage of pinned types (e.g., mutexes, spinlocks, driver
registrations, etc.) in modules without any extra allocations.

Drivers that don't need this may continue to implement `Module` without
any changes.
