rust: types: add `Either` type
Introduce the new `types` module of the `kernel` crate with `Either` as its first type. `Either<L, R>` is a sum type that always holds either a value of type `L` (`Left` variant) or `R` (`Right` variant). For instance: struct Executor { queue: Either<BoxedQueue, &'static Queue>, } Signed-off-by: Wedson Almeida Filho <wedsonaf@gmail.com> Reviewed-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu@kernel.org> [Reworded, adapted for upstream and applied latest changes] Signed-off-by: Miguel Ojeda <ojeda@kernel.org>
