Use the newly-introduced `num` module to replace the use of `as`
wherever it is safe to do. This ensures that a given conversion cannot
lose data if its source or destination type ever changes.

This patch solves one of the existing mentions of COHA, a task
in the Nova task list about improving the `CoherentAllocation` API.
It uses the new `from_bytes` method from the `FromBytes` trait as
well as the `as_slice` and `as_slice_mut` methods from
`CoherentAllocation`.

As per [1], we need one "use" item per line, in order to reduce merge
conflicts. Furthermore, we need a trailing ", //" in order to tell
rustfmt(1) to leave it alone.
This does that for the entire nova-core driver.

There are a few situations in the driver where we convert a `usize` into
a `u32` using `as`. Even though most of these are obviously correct, use
`try_from` and let the compiler optimize wherever it is safe to do so.

The `as` operator is best avoided as it silently drops bits if the
destination type is smaller that the source.
For data types where this is clearly not the case, use `from` to
unambiguously signal that these conversions are lossless.

Falcon DMA transfers are done in 256 bytes increments, and the method
responsible for initiating the transfer checked that the required length
was indeed a multiple of 256. While correct, this also requires callers
to specifically account for this limitation of DMA transfers, and we had
for instance the fwsec code performing a seemingly arbitrary (and
potentially overflowing) upwards alignment of the DMEM load size to
match this requirement.
Let's move that alignment into the loading code itself instead: since it
is working in terms of number of transfers, we can turn this upwards
alignment into a non-overflowing operation, and check that the requested
transfer remains into the limits of the DMA object. This also allows us
to remove a DMA-specific constant in the fwsec code.

A few new dependencies are required to remove some of the TODO items:
- A way to safely convert from byte slices to types implementing
`FromBytes`,
- A way to obtain slices and write into a `CoherentAllocation`,
- Several improvements to the `register!()` macro,
- Alignment operations to powers of two, and an equivalent to the C
`fls`,
- Support for `xa_alloc` in the XAlloc bindings.
Some items have also become obsolete:
- The auxiliary bus abstractions have been implemented and are in use,
- The ELF utilities are not considered for being part of the core kernel
bindings anymore.
- VBIOS, falcon and GPU timer have been completed.
We now have quite a few TODO entries in the code, so annotate them with
a 4 letter code representing the corresponding task in `todo.rst`. This
allows to easily find which part of the code corresponds to a given
entry (and conversely).

The FWSEC firmware needs to be extracted from the VBIOS and patched with
the desired command, as well as the right signature. Do this so we are
ready to load and run this firmware into the GSP falcon and create the
FRTS region.
