rust: add `Revocable` type

Revocable allows access to objects to be safely revoked at run time.

This is useful, for example, for resources allocated during device probe;
when the device is removed, the driver should stop accessing the device
resources even if another state is kept in memory due to existing
references (i.e., device context data is ref-counted and has a non-zero
refcount after removal of the device).

+//! Revocable objects.

+//! The [`Revocable`] type wraps other types and allows access to them to be revoked. The existence
+//! of a [`RevocableGuard`] ensures that objects remain valid.

+/// Once access is revoked and all concurrent users complete (i.e., all existing instances of
