0219b6f6fa ptp-helper: Add some tests for functionality and memory safety of unsafe code
These tests are mostly for ensuring that the calls to system APIs are
done correctly and that there are no memory bugs (that would be caught
by valgrind) in the unsafe code.

3fdfcdf2f6 ptp-helper: Rewrite in Rust for portability and security
This works on Linux, Android, Windows, macOS, FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD,
DragonFlyBSD, Solaris and Illumos.
Newly supported compared to the C version is Windows.

Compared to the C version various error paths are handled more correctly
and a couple of memory leaks are fixed. Otherwise it should work identically.

The minimum required Rust version for compiling this is 1.48, i.e. the
version currently in Debian stable. On Windows, Rust 1.54 is needed at
least.
