Rust's `unused_imports` lint covers both unused and redundant imports.
In the upcoming 1.78.0, the lint detects more cases of redundant imports
[1], e.g.:

    error: the item `bindings` is imported redundantly
      --&gt; rust/kernel/print.rs:38:9
       |
    38 |     use crate::bindings;
       |         ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the item `bindings` is already defined by prelude

Most cases are `use crate::bindings`, plus a few other items like `Box`.
Thus clean them up.

Note that, in the `bindings` case, the message "defined by prelude"
above means the extern prelude, i.e. the `--extern` flags we pass.

Make fallible versions of `new` and `new_uninit` methods available in
`Box` even though it doesn't implement them because we build `alloc`
with the `no_global_oom_handling` config.

They also have an extra `flags` parameter that allows callers to pass
flags to the allocator.

We'll use them when allocating `Box`, `Arc`, and `UniqueArc` instances,
as well as when allocating memory for `Vec` elements. These changes will
come in subsequent patches.
