Port FlatBuffers to Rust (google#4898)

This is a port of FlatBuffers to Rust. It provides code generation and a runtime library derived from the C++ implementation. It utilizes the Rust type system to provide safe and fast traversal of FlatBuffers data. There are 188 tests, including many fuzz tests of roundtrips for various serialization scenarios. Initial benchmarks indicate that the canonical example payload can be written in ~700ns, and traversed in ~100ns. Rustaceans may be interested in the Follow, Push, and SafeSliceAccess traits. These traits lift traversals, reads, writes, and slice accesses into the type system, providing abstraction with no runtime penalty.
