rust: macros: Add support for 'imports_ns' to module!

Kernel modules that use C symbols exported via `EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS` must
declare this dependency for `modpost` verification. C modules achieve
this by using the `MODULE_IMPORT_NS(NAMESPACE)` macro, which embeds an
`import_ns=<NAMESPACE>` tag into the `.modinfo` section.

The Rust `module!` macro lacked the ability to generate these tags,
resulting in build warnings for Rust drivers (like the PWM driver) that
call namespaced C functions.

Modify the `module!` macro's internal parser (`ModuleInfo`) to accept a
new optional field `imports_ns`, which takes an array of namespace
strings.  Update the code generator (`ModInfoBuilder::emit`) loop to
iterate over these strings and emit the corresponding
`import_ns=<NAMESPACE>` tags into the `.modinfo` section using the
existing `#[link_section]` mechanism.

This provides the necessary infrastructure for Rust modules to correctly
declare their C namespace dependencies.
