[`new_without_default`]: Now emits on const fns

While `Default::default` is not const, it can still call `const new`; there's no reason this shouldn't be linted as well.

fixes #10877

changelog: [`new_without_default`]: Now emits on const fns

In Rust 1.78.0, Clippy suggests to implement `Default` even when `new()`
is `const`, since `Default::default()` may call `const` functions even
if it is not `const` itself [1]:

    error: you should consider adding a `Default` implementation for `LockClassKey`
      --> rust/kernel/sync.rs:31:5
       |
    31 | /     pub const fn new() -> Self {
    32 | |         Self(Opaque::uninit())
    33 | |     }
       | |_____^

Thus implement it.

This is the next upgrade to the Rust toolchain, from 1.77.1 to 1.78.0
(i.e. the latest) [1].

See the upgrade policy [2] and the comments on the first upgrade in
commit 3ed03f4 ("rust: upgrade to Rust 1.68.2").

# Unstable features

There have been no changes to the set of unstable features used in
our own code. Therefore, the only unstable features allowed to be used
outside the `kernel` crate is still `new_uninit`.

However, since we are finally dropping our `alloc` fork [3], all the
unstable features used by `alloc` (~30 language ones, ~60 library ones)
are not a concern anymore. This reduces the maintanance burden, increases
the chances of new compiler versions working without changes and gets
us closer to the goal of supporting several compiler versions.

It also means that, ignoring non-language/library features, we are
currently left with just the few language features needed to implement the
kernel `Arc`, the `new_uninit` library feature, the `compiler_builtins`
marker and the few `no_*` `cfg`s we pass when compiling `core`/`alloc`.

Please see [4] for details.

# Required changes

## LLVM's data layout

Rust 1.77.0 (i.e. the previous upgrade) introduced a check for matching
LLVM data layouts [5]. Then, Rust 1.78.0 upgraded LLVM's bundled major
version from 17 to 18 [6], which changed the data layout in x86 [7]. Thus
update the data layout in our custom target specification for x86 so
that the compiler does not complain about the mismatch:

    error: data-layout for target `target-5559158138856098584`,
    `e-m:e-p270:32:32-p271:32:32-p272:64:64-i64:64-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128`,
    differs from LLVM target's `x86_64-linux-gnu` default layout,
    `e-m:e-p270:32:32-p271:32:32-p272:64:64-i64:64-i128:128-f80:128-n8:16:32:64-S128`

In the future, the goal is to drop the custom target specification
files. Meanwhile, if we want to support other LLVM versions used
in `rustc` (e.g. for LTO), we will need to add some extra logic
(e.g. conditional on LLVM's version, or extracting the data layout from
an existing built-in target specification).

## `unused_imports`

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redudant imports.
Now, in 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports [8].
Thus the previous commit cleaned them up.

## Clippy's `new_without_default`

Clippy now suggests to implement `Default` even when `new()` is `const`,
since `Default::default()` may call `const` functions even if it is not
`const` itself [9]. Thus the previous commit added the implementation.

# Other changes in Rust

Rust 1.78.0 introduces `feature(asm_goto)` [10] [11]. This feature was
discussed in the past [12].

Rust 1.78.0 introduced support for mutable pointers to Rust statics,
including a test case for the Linux kernel's `VTABLE` use case [13].

Rust 1.78.0 with debug assertions enabled (i.e. `-Cdebug-assertions=y`,
kernel's `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) will now always check all
unsafe preconditions, without a way to opt-out for particular cases [14].

Rust 1.78.0 also improved a couple issues we reported when giving feedback
for the new `--check-cfg` feature [15] [16].

# `alloc` upgrade and reviewing

As mentioned above, compiler upgrades will not update `alloc` anymore,
since we are dropping our `alloc` fork [3].

As a bonus, even if that series is not applied, the new compiler release
happens to build cleanly the existing `alloc` too (i.e. the previous
version's).

Rust 1.78.0 introduced `feature(const_refs_to_static)` [13] to allow
referencing statics in constants and extended `feature(const_mut_refs)`
to allow raw mutable pointers in constants. Together, this should cover
the kernel's `VTABLE` use case. In fact, the implementation [14] in
upstream Rust added a test case for it [15].

Rust 1.78.0 with debug assertions enabled (i.e. `-Cdebug-assertions=y`,
kernel's `CONFIG_RUST_DEBUG_ASSERTIONS=y`) now always checks all unsafe
preconditions, though without a way to opt-out for particular cases [16].
It would be ideal to have a way to selectively disable certain checks
per-call site for this one (i.e. not just per check but for particular
instances of a check), even if the vast majority of the checks remain
