This will make FFI with Rust easier, as Rust expects the config flags to be unsigned types.
This makes it easier to catch all new files when adding new code such as the new Rust code.
The purpose of these Rust wrappers is to create an API for the marfs config that does not expose pthread_mutex_t to the Rust side.
These functions end up being defined in multiple object files. Those object files get linked together into the Rust binary that statically links various MarFS libraries. This resulted in the linker giving "multiple definition" errors for these symbols. Designate these functions 'static' so that they are not defined in multiple shared object files.
This is an initial work-in-progress config verify command that demonstrates the use of Rust bindings to call the C MarFS functions from Rust code.

This demonstrates integrating Rust into the MarFS code by creating a Rust program that verifies a MarFS config.
This is still a work in progress. There is no integration in terms of the build system yet.
