[PATCH 0/3] rust: generate bindings via cbindgen

[Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>]

Hi,

this small patch series introduces support for cbindgen(1). This tool is
used to generate C headers from `extern "C"` blocks so that Rust code
can easily be called from C code.

For now, the only use case is to verify that our varint reimplementation
matches the C implementation. But later on this can and will be used to
call Rust-specific features from C, as well.

The topic is built on top of c54a18ef67 (The twenty-second batch,
2025-10-22) with ps/ci-rust at e509b5b8be (rust: support for Windows,
2025-10-15) merged into it.

Thanks!

Patrick
