Zhi Wang 121d87b28e rust: io: separate generic I/O helpers from MMIO implementation ...

The previous Io<SIZE> type combined both the generic I/O access helpers
and MMIO implementation details in a single struct. This coupling prevented
reusing the I/O helpers for other backends, such as PCI configuration
space.

Establish a clean separation between the I/O interface and concrete
backends by separating generic I/O helpers from MMIO implementation.

Introduce a new trait hierarchy to handle different access capabilities:

- IoCapable<T>: A marker trait indicating that a backend supports I/O
  operations of a certain type (u8, u16, u32, or u64).

- Io trait: Defines fallible (try_read8, try_write8, etc.) and infallibile
  (read8, write8, etc.) I/O methods with runtime bounds checking and
  compile-time bounds checking.

- IoKnownSize trait: The marker trait for types support infallible I/O
  methods.

Move the MMIO-specific logic into a dedicated Mmio<SIZE> type that
implements the Io traits. Rename IoRaw to MmioRaw and update consumers to
use the new types.
