0e2fc80509 Rust tools for working with Realtek firmware
Further adventures in porting tools to Rust to flesh out the supported
API.

These tools didn't feel like `example`s, so I made a top level `bumble`
CLI tool that hosts them all as subcommands. I also moved the usb probe
not-really-an-`example` into it as well. I'm open to suggestions on how
best to organize the subcommands to make them intuitive to explore with
`--help`, and how to leave room for other future tools.

I also adopted the per-OS project data dir for a default firmware
location so that users can download once and then use those .bin files
from anywhere without having to sprinkle .bin files in project
directories or reaching inside the python package dir hierarchy.

afb21220e2 Proof-of-concept Rust wrapper
This contains Rust wrappers around enough of the Python API to implement Rust versions of the `battery_client` and `run_scanner` examples. The goal is to gather feedback on the approach, and of course to show that it is possible.

The module structure mirrors that of the Python. The Rust API is not optimally Rust-y, but given the constraints of everything having to delegate to Python, it's at least usable.

Notably, this does not yet solve the packaging problem: users must have an appropriate virtualenv, libpython, etc. [PyOxidizer](https://github.com/indygreg/PyOxidizer) may be a viable path there.
