Merge #613

613: Rust stable support r=Dirbaio a=Dirbaio

This PR adds (limited) stable Rust support!

The drawbacks are: 

- No `#[embassy::task]`, `#[embassy::main]`. (requires `type_alias_impl_trait`). You have to manually allocate the tasks somewhere they'll live forever. See [example](https://github.com/embassy-rs/embassy/blob/master/examples/nrf/src/bin/raw_spawn.rs)
- No async trait impls (requires GATs). Note that the full API surface of HALs is still available through inherent methods: #552 #581 
- Some stuff is not constructible in const (requires `const_fn_trait_bound`), although there's an (ugly) workaround for the generic `Mutex`.

So it's not that bad in the end, it's fully usable for shipping production-ready firmwares. We'll still recommend nightly as the default, until GATs and `type_alias_impl_trait` are stable.
