bcachefs-tools has been using a patched bindgen to work around a
limitation of rustc that prevents compiling structs with
both #[repr(packed(N)] and #[repr(align(N)] attributes. The patch:
e8168ceda507 "codegen: Don't generate conflicting packed() and align()
representation hints." discards the "align" attribute in cases where
bindgen produces a type with both.
This may be correct for some types, but it turns out that for each
bcachefs type with this problem, keeping the "align" attribute and
discarding the "packed" attribute generates a type with the same ABI as
the original C type.
This can be tested automatically by running:
$ cargo test --manifest-path bch_bindgen/Cargo.toml
in the bcachefs-tools tree.
There has been pressure recently to start using upstream bindgen; both
externally, from distribution maintainers who want to build
bcachefs-tools with standard dependencies, and internally, in order to
enable using Rust for bcachefs in-kernel.
This patch updates bcachefs-tools to use upstream bindgen. It works
around the rustc limitation with a post-processing step in the bindgen
build that adjusts the attributes to include "#[repr(C, align(N))]" and
exclude #[repr(packed(N)] only for the 4 types that need it. It also
updates bch_bindgen to format the code with prettyplease so that this
will work even in environments with rustfmt installed.
Some types that had been manually implemented in
bch_bindgen/src/bcachefs.rs are now automatically generated by bindgen,
so that they will be covered by the ABI compatibility testing mentioned
above.
I intentionally targeted the post-processing to the exact 4 types with
the issue currently, so that any changes to bcachefs that result in this
issue appearing for a new type will require manual intervention. I
figured any such changes should require careful consideration.
Ideally, bindgen can be updated to handle situations where "align(N)"
is needed and "packed(N)" can be safely discarded. If a patch for this
is accepted into bindgen, the post-processing hack can be removed.
I update the minimum Rust version to 1.70 as this is needed to build
recent versions of some dependencies.

This moves the Rust sources out of rust_src/ and into the top level.
Running the bcachefs executable out of the development tree is now:
$ ./target/release/bcachefs command
or
$ cargo run --profile release -- command
instead of "./bcachefs command".
Building and installing is still:
$ make && make install
