rust: error: add From implementations for Error

Add a set of `From` implementations for the `Error` kernel type.

These implementations allow to easily convert from standard Rust
error types to the usual kernel errors based on one of the `E*`
integer codes.

On top of that, the question mark Rust operator (`?`) implicitly
performs a conversion on the error value using the `From` trait
when propagating. Thus it is extra convenient to use.

For instance, a kernel function that needs to convert a `i64` into
a `i32` and to bubble up the error as a kernel error may write:

    fn f(x: i64) -> Result<...> {
        ...
        let y = i32::try_from(x)?;
        ...
    }

which will transform the `TryFromIntError` into an `Err(EINVAL)`.
