The doctests of `Firmware` are compile-time only tests, since they
require a proper `Device` and a valid path to a (firmware) blob in order
to do something sane on runtime - we can't satisfy both of those
requirements.
Hence, configure the example as `no_run`.
Unfortunately, the kernel's Rust build system can't consider the
`no_run` attribute yet. Hence, for the meantime, wrap the example code
into a new function and never actually call it.

Improve the wording of safety comments to be more explicit about what
exactly is guaranteed to be valid.

Add an abstraction around the kernels firmware API to request firmware
images. The abstraction provides functions to access the firmware's size
and backing buffer.
The firmware is released once the abstraction instance is dropped.
