rust: fs: introduce FileSystem::init_root

Allow Rust file systems to specify their root directory. Also allow them
to create (and do cache lookups of) directory inodes. (More types of
inodes are added in subsequent patches in the series.)

The `NewINode` type ensures that a new inode is properly initialised
before it is marked so. It also facilitates error paths by automatically
marking inodes as failed if they're not properly initialised.
