Initial libmount function call from Rust

Follow "A little C with your Rust" [1].

Set up cargo and main.rs skeleton and call one of the simplest possible
functions from libmount: mnt_get_fstab_path().

Use bindgen [1] to translate libmount's header file into a Rust
interface. This requires a few hacks:

 - bindgen does not accept the original header right away, as it can't
   find stdarg.h. Avoid this by dropping the (unnecessary) stdio.h
   include.
 - bindgen does not know about `size_t`. Hack around that with a typedef
   for now.
 - Suppress warnings about constant/identifier naming.
