rust: alloc: implement kernel Box
`Box` provides the simplest way to allocate memory for a generic type with one of the kernel's allocators, e.g. `Kmalloc`, `Vmalloc` or `KVmalloc`. In contrast to Rust's `Box` type, the kernel `Box` type considers the kernel's GFP flags for all appropriate functions, always reports allocation failures through `Result<_, AllocError>` and remains independent from unstable features.
