We should fix this warning eventually. Silence it for now to make Clippy
pass without warnings, which makes it much more useful.

A following commit will pass global string constants to the gettext macro.
This is not ideal because we might accidentally use the constants without
gettext (which we should never do). To fix that we might need to define a
macro per constant, or use a proc macro which is maybe not worth it.

lazy_static has better ergonomics at the call/access sites (it returns a
reference to the type directly, whereas with once_cell we get a static Lazy<T>
that we must dereference instead) but the once_cell api is slated for
integration into the standard library [0] and has been the "preferred" way to
declare static global variables w/ deferred initialization. It's also less
opaque and easier to comprehend how it works, I guess?
(Both `once_cell` and `lazy_static` are already in our dependency tree, so this
should have no detrimental effect on build times. It actually negligibly
*improves* build times by not using macros, reducing the amount of expansion the
compiler has to do by a miniscule amount.)

It's debatable whether is_ascii_digit() is better than (0..=9).contains().
(Probably we want to go with the mainstream Rust choice eventually.)
Let's disable the warning for now since it's not terribly important.
We should only be dealing with wcharz_t at the language boundary.
Rust callers should prefer the equivalent &wstr.
Since wcsfilecmp() is no longer exposed directly it can take &wstr only.
This is early work but I guess there's no harm in pushing it?
Some thoughts on the conventions:
Types that live only inside Rust follow Rust naming convention
("FeatureMetadata").
Types that live on both sides of the language boundary follow the existing
naming ("feature_flag_t").
The alternative is to define a type alias ("using feature_flag_t =
rust::FeatureFlag") but that doesn't seem to be supported in "[cxx::bridge]"
blocks. We could put it in a header ("future_feature_flags.h").
"feature_metadata_t" is a variant of "FeatureMetadata" that can cross
the language boundary. This has the advantage that we can avoid tainting
"FeatureMetadata" with "CxxString" and such. This is an experimental approach,
probably not what we should do in general.
The initial port of feature flags requires a global initialization. Since
fish_indent accesses feature flags, let's make sure to initialize them here.
In future, we can stop initializing things fish_indent doesn't need (like
the topic monitor) but that's no big deal. Global initialization should
always be a benign addition.
The original implementation without the test took me 3 hours (first time
seriously looking into this)
The functions take "wcharz_t" for smooth integration with existing C++ callers.
This is at the expense of Rust callers, which would prefer "&wstr". Would be
nice to declare a function parameter that accepts both but I don't think
that really works since "wcharz_t" drops the lifetime annotation.
rustfmt removes the "::" prefix from qualifiers. This breaks the build because
I think a later "pub use ffi::*" results in "std" being an ambiguous reference.
We can re-enable these once we're nearing a RIIR release (or if someone thinks
it's a good use of their time to fix them before then). Otherwise we're just
going to have GitHub reporting CI failure for all commits instead of just the
ones that actually broke something.
(I'm mainly trying to get the branch in a good state to merge into master.)
Use rustup to install the latest version of rust. The latest version of rust
available from pkg is 1.66.0 while the code currently needs 1.67.0 or later.
The nix crate had all its default features enabled, which included features that
are not present under BSD. We should only enable the select subset of crate
features that we know are available cross-platform (or else use conditional
targeting in Cargo.toml to only enable Linux-only features when compiling for
Linux targets).
For now, it seems we can just use the nix crate with all features disabled as it
still builds under Linux and FreeBSD in this state.
