rust: add const_assert! macro

The macro is a more powerful version of `static_assert!` for use inside
function contexts. This is powered by inline consts, so enable the feature
for old compiler versions that does not have it stably.

While it is possible already to write `const { assert!(...) }`, this
provides a short hand that is more uniform with other assertions. It also
formats nicer with rustfmt where it will not be formatted into multiple
lines.

Two users that would route via the Rust tree are converted.
