rust: cred: add Rust abstraction for struct cred
Add a wrapper around `struct cred` called `Credential`, and provide
functionality to get the `Credential` associated with a `File`.

Rust Binder must check the credentials of processes when they attempt to
perform various operations, and these checks usually take a
`&Credential` as parameter. The security_binder_set_context_mgr function
would be one example. This patch is necessary to access these security_*
methods from Rust.

This Rust abstraction makes the following assumptions about the C side:
* `struct cred` is refcounted with `get_cred`/`put_cred`.
* It's okay to transfer a `struct cred` across threads, that is, you do
  not need to call `put_cred` on the same thread as where you called
  `get_cred`.
* The `euid` field of a `struct cred` never changes after
  initialization.
* The `f_cred` field of a `struct file` never changes after
  initialization.
