gpu: nova-core: add functions and traits for lossless integer conversions

The core library's `From` implementations do not cover conversions
that are not portable or future-proof. For instance, even though it is
safe today, `From<usize>` is not implemented for `u64` because of the
possibility to support larger-than-64bit architectures in the future.

However, the kernel supports a narrower set of architectures, and in the
case of Nova we only support 64-bit. This makes it helpful and desirable
to provide more infallible conversions, lest we need to rely on the `as`
keyword and carry the risk of silently losing data.

Thus, introduce a new module `num` that provides safe const functions
performing more conversions allowed by the build target, as well as
`FromSafeCast` and `IntoSafeCast` traits that are just extensions of
`From` and `Into` to conversions that are known to be lossless.
