perlmod: add #[hash] parameter attribute - v3
=============================================
This series implements a `#[hash]` parameter similar to the existing
`#[list]` one, allowing us to create APIs like
`foo("arg", key => "value")` directly from Rust.
In other words, this essentially mirrors how a sub with `%params` as its
last parameter would work.
For example, this is one of the functions called by the tests that are
added in this series:
#[export]
fn trailing_hash(first: u32, #[hash] rest: HashMap<u32, u32>) -> String {
format!("first={first}, rest is {rest:?}")
}
This can then be called e.g. like this:
let $res = TestLib::Hello::trailing_hash(42, 1337 => 123);
Changes Since v2
----------------
- Drop patches that were already applied (thanks!)
- Incorporate Wolfgang's feedback on patch #4 of v2 [0] (thanks a lot!)
and remove unnecessary bindings and indentation; can now be found in
patch #1 of this series.
Changed the commit message correspondingly as well.
- Rebase the very last patch that actually adds support for `#[hash]`
on top of the previous change.

To: pve-devel
The handling of function signature inputs adds a lot of mutable state
to the body of the `handle_function()` fn, which makes it somewhat
hard to track when that state is actually mutated throughout the
function.
Therefore, introduce the private `FnInputs` struct and heave all of
the fn signature input handling into `FnInputs::from_signature()` to
limit the scope where mutability occurs. Additionally, use an inline
`State` struct inside `FnInputs::from_signature()` in order to make it
explicit at a glance when mutable state is in fact mutated.
Also introduce the `TrailingType` enum and use it inside `FnInputs`
instead of the `had_list_param` boolean in order to make adding such
proc macro parameter attributes a little easier in the future.
Take the opportunity to improve the overall signature inputs handling
logic by making use of some more pattern matching and using `break`s
from labeled blocks [1] instead of an if-elseif-else expression when
generating the code for the `None` handling.
Adapt the `gen_prototype()` function and make it take a reference to
`&FnInputs` instead, and avoid shadowing the `arg_count` variable too
by renaming the parameter to `total_arg_count`.
Adapt the `handle_return_kind()` function and make it take a reference
to `&FnInputs` as well, removing obsolete parameters in the process.
Adapt its body accordingly.

To: pve-devel
Like `#[list]`, `#[hash]` allows us to support subs for which any
number of additional key-value pairs may be passed, which is the same
as having an `;%` at the end of the Perl prototype.
The `ParamsIter` type is added as a helper for pairwise iteration that
makes use of the fact that `ffi::StackIter` is now an
`ExactSizeIterator`, returning an error if the number of values on the
stack is odd on creation. It is then directly passed on to
serde's `MapDeserializer`, mirroring how `#[list]` works with
`SeqDeserializer`.
That way we can support additional Perl APIs without new parameters
breaking the Rust side of the API, just like we can with `#[list]`.
Also document the `#[hash]` parameter and add corresponding tests
along the way.
