Upstream Rust's libs-api team has consensus for stabilizing some of
`feature(new_uninit)`, but not for `Box<MaybeUninit<T>>::write`. Instead,
we can use `MaybeUninit<T>::write`, so Rust for Linux can drop the
feature after stabilization. That will happen after merging, as the FCP
has completed [1].

This is required before stabilization because remaining-unstable API
will be divided into new features. This code doesn't know about those
yet. It can't: they haven't landed, as the relevant PR is blocked on
rustc's CI testing Rust-for-Linux without this patch.

[ The PR has landed [2] and will be released in Rust 1.82.0 (expected on
  2024-10-17), so we could conditionally enable the new unstable feature
  (`box_uninit_write` [3]) instead, but just for a single `unsafe` block
  it is probably not worth it. For the time being, I added it to the
  "nice to have" section of our unstable features list. - Miguel ]

Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:

    error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
      --> rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
       |
    38 |     use crate::bindings;
       |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude

Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.

Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

With the adoption of `BoxExt` and `VecExt`, we don't need the functions
provided by this feature (namely the methods prefixed with `try_` and
different allocator per collection instance).

We do need `AllocError`, but we define our own as it is a trivial empty
struct.

Make fallible versions of `new` and `new_uninit` methods available in
`Box` even though it doesn't implement them because we build `alloc`
with the `no_global_oom_handling` config.

They also have an extra `flags` parameter that allows callers to pass
flags to the allocator.

[ Used `Box::write()` to avoid one `unsafe` block as suggested by Boqun. ]
