rust: bindgen: upgrade to 0.65.1

In LLVM 16, anonymous items may return names like `(unnamed union at ..)`
rather than empty names [1], which breaks Rust-enabled builds because
bindgen assumed an empty name instead of detecting them via
`clang_Cursor_isAnonymous` [2]:

    $ make rustdoc LLVM=1 CLIPPY=1 -j$(nproc)
      RUSTC L rust/core.o
      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_generated.rs
      BINDGEN rust/bindings/bindings_helpers_generated.rs
      BINDGEN rust/uapi/uapi_generated.rs
    thread 'main' panicked at '"ftrace_branch_data_union_(anonymous_at__/_/include/linux/compiler_types_h_146_2)" is not a valid Ident', .../proc-macro2-1.0.24/src/fallback.rs:693:9
    ...

    ...

This was fixed in bindgen 0.62.0. Therefore, upgrade bindgen to
a more recent version, 0.65.1, to support LLVM 16.

Since bindgen 0.58.0 changed the `--{white,black}list-*` flags to
`--{allow,block}list-*` [3], update them on our side too.

In addition, bindgen 0.61.0 moved its CLI utility into a binary crate
called `bindgen-cli` [4]. Thus update the installation command in the
Quick Start guide.

Moreover, bindgen 0.61.0 changed the default functionality to bind
`size_t` to `usize` [5] and added the `--no-size_t-is-usize` flag
to not bind `size_t` as `usize`. Then bindgen 0.65.0 removed
the `--size_t-is-usize` flag [6]. Thus stop passing the flag to bindgen.

Finally, bindgen 0.61.0 added support for the `noreturn` attribute (in
its different forms) [7]. Thus remove the infinite loop in our Rust
panic handler after calling `BUG()`, since bindgen now correctly
generates a `BUG()` binding that returns `!` instead of `()`.
