rust: add binary helper crate for generating raw bindings

This MR is an alternative to !3889 (closed), it introduces the first bits of Rust to eventually support pure-Rust modules. :rust:

---

This MR mainly adds a binary helper crate that will be used to manually generate the raw bindings.

Creating and generating the bindings will be as simple as invoking cargo run -p vlcrs-sys-generator and adjusting the source for the new wrappers.

It also adds the relevant files to the .gitignore and creates the src/rust/ Cargo workspace.

Same problem as earlier MR. VLC doesn't depend on Clang, and Rust support is only supposed to require cargo and a Rust compiler, not a specific C compiler, to my understanding.
