[libgpiod][PATCH 0/2] bindings: rust: feature gate unreleased features

[Erik Schilling <erik.schilling@xxxxxxxxxx>]

When releasing the 0.2.0 version of the libgpiod crate, I did not
realize that there were C lib features that were not released yet.
Helpfully, vhost-device's CI went up in flames and revealed this [1].

This suggests a way to handle that and sketches how further updates can
be handled.

I acknowledge that this may be very strange to C developers...
Traditionally, one would just use whatever your distro provided and the
distro would make sure that dependencies update in lock-step.

However, in Rust the default way to consume libraries is to pull them
from crates.io. This is a balancing act for -sys crates which link to
distro-provided libraries on the system. Since crates.io does not wait
for distros to update their libraries, crates will need to support a
wider range of system libraries.

This sets up / sketches the infrastructure for that.

Only the first commit is intended to be merged. The second one just
sketches how a release will look like once it happens.
