rust: error: add `From` implementations for `Error`
Add a set of `From` implementations for the `Error` kernel type. These implementations allow to easily convert from standard Rust error types to the usual kernel errors based on one of the `E*` integer codes. On top of that, the question mark Rust operator (`?`) implicitly performs a conversion on the error value using the `From` trait when propagating. Thus it is extra convenient to use. For instance, a kernel function that needs to convert a `i64` into a `i32` and to bubble up the error as a kernel error may write: fn f(x: i64) -> Result<...> { ... let y = i32::try_from(x)?; ... } which will transform the `TryFromIntError` into an `Err(EINVAL)`.
