This customizes the subset of the Rust standard library `alloc` that
was just imported as-is, mainly by:
- Adding SPDX license identifiers.
- Skipping modules (e.g. `rc` and `sync`) via new `cfg`s.
- Adding fallible (`try_*`) versions of existing infallible methods
(i.e. returning a `Result` instead of panicking).
Since the standard library requires stable/unstable attributes,
these additions are annotated with:
#[stable(feature = "kernel", since = "1.0.0")]
Using "kernel" as the feature allows to have the additions
clearly marked. The "1.0.0" version is just a placeholder.
(At the moment, only one is needed, but in the future more
fallible methods will be added).

This is a subset of the Rust standard library `alloc` crate,
version 1.62.0, licensed under "Apache-2.0 OR MIT", from:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/tree/1.62.0/library/alloc/src
The files are copied as-is, with no modifications whatsoever
(not even adding the SPDX identifiers).
For copyright details, please see:
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/1.62.0/COPYRIGHT
The next patch modifies these files as needed for use within
the kernel. This patch split allows reviewers to double-check
the import and to clearly see the differences introduced.
Vendoring `alloc`, at least for the moment, allows us to have fallible
allocations support (i.e. the `try_*` versions of methods which return
a `Result` instead of panicking) early on. It also gives a bit more
freedom to experiment with new interfaces and to iterate quickly.
Eventually, the goal is to have everything the kernel needs in
upstream `alloc` and drop it from the kernel tree.
For a summary of work on `alloc` happening upstream, please see:
