Aliet Exposito Garcia ce1c54fdff rust: kernel: move FromBytes and AsBytes traits to a new transmute module
Refactor the `FromBytes` and `AsBytes` traits from `types.rs` into a new
`transmute.rs` module:

 - Add `rust/kernel/transmute.rs` with the definitions of `FromBytes`
   and `AsBytes`.

 - Remove the same trait definitions from `rust/kernel/types.rs`.

 - Update `rust/kernel/uaccess.rs` to import `AsBytes` and `FromBytes`
   from `transmute.rs`.

The traits and their implementations remain unchanged.
