rust: add abstraction for vlc_tick_t and date_t v2

Alexandre Janniaux requested to merge alexandre-janniaux/vlc:rust-for-vlc.tick into master

Revive of !3983 MR.

Adds abstractions for vlc_tick_t and date_t found in vlc_tick.h. The abstraction crate is vlcrs-tick with the raw bindings being generated from vlc_tick.h and outputted in vlcrs-tick.

The types added are:

  • vlc_tick_t -> Tick (with each time unit having it's own unique type)
  • date_t -> Date

A new framework MaybeOverflow<T> for arithmetics on ticks is added to enforce the checks on overflows while using usual operations on them.
