Add the `Bounded` integer wrapper type, which restricts the number of
bits allowed to represent of value.
This is useful to e.g. enforce guarantees when working with bitfields
that have an arbitrary number of bits.
Alongside this type, provide many `From` and `TryFrom` implementations
are to reduce friction when using with regular integer types. Proxy
implementations of common integer operations are also provided.

Introduce the `num` module, which will provide numerical extensions and
utilities for the kernel.
For now, introduce the `Integer` trait, which is implemented for all
primitive integer types to provides their core properties to generic
code.
