The `build_error` crate provides a function `build_error` which
will panic at compile-time if executed in const context and,
by default, will cause a build error if not executed at compile
time and the optimizer does not optimise away the call.
The `CONFIG_RUST_BUILD_ASSERT_ALLOW` kernel option allows to
relax the default build failure and convert it to a runtime
check. If the runtime check fails, `panic!` will be called.
Its functionality will be exposed to users as a couple macros in
the `kernel` crate in the following patch, thus some documentation
here refers to them for simplicity.
