rust: kernel: remove usage of allocator_api unstable feature

With the adoption of `BoxExt` and `VecExt`, we don't need the functions
provided by this feature (namely the methods prefixed with `try_` and
different allocator per collection instance).

We do need `AllocError`, but we define our own as it is a trivial empty
struct.
