rust: start supporting several `bindgen` versions
With both the workaround for `bindgen` 0.69.0 and the warning about
0.66.0 and 0.66.1 in place, start supporting several `bindgen` versions,
like it was done for the Rust compiler in a previous patch.
All other versions, including the latest 0.69.4, build without errors.
The `bindgen` project, like Rust, has also agreed to have the kernel
in their CI [1] -- thanks! This should help both projects: `bindgen`
will be able to detect early issues like those mentioned above, and the
kernel will be very likely build with new releases (at least for the
basic configuration being tested).
