High Stability Rust in Kernel by Kernel CI

summary
KernelCI runs builds of rust-for-linux using a Docker image with rust toolchain that installs rustc, bindgen and formatting tools; current CI compiles a couple of sample kernel modules and publishes logs on the KernelCI web UI and mailing lists. rust-for-linux depends on many unstable Rust features so KernelCI currently supports only one Rust version, with plans to track minimum and maximum later. Tests are added via the KernelCI test-repo, Jenkins is being replaced by KAPI, and some staging builds still need work due to fragment/config mistakes.
