These auto-generated bindings are used only by the code present in
bindings/rust/libgpiod/src/, and are never visible to end user code.

The end user will use the new interface provided by the libgpiod Rust bindings
instead and that works over the web and will be picked from libgpiod's git tree
or crates.io (later).

Not sure how the tarball solution will work here.
