[RFC PATCH 1/2] rust: list: Implement normal initializer for ListLinks

[I Hsin Cheng]

Currently ListLinks only supports to create an initializer through
"new()", which will need further initialization because the return type
of "new()" is "impl Pininit<Self>". Not even "ListLinksSlefPtr" use the
method to create a new instance of "ListLinks".

Implement a normal method to create a new instance of type "ListLinks".
This may be redundant as long as there exist a convenient and proper way
to deal with "ListLinks::new()".

For now it's introduce for the simplicity of examples in the following
patches.
