rust: device: Add a minimal RawDevice trait

Add a RawDevice trait which can be implemented by any type representing
a device class (such as a PlatformDevice). This is the minimum amount of
Device support code required to unblock abstractions that need to take
device pointers.

Lina: Rewrote commit message, and dropped everything except RawDevice.
