rust: kernel: move `build_error` hidden function to prevent mistakes
Users were using the hidden exported `kernel::build_error` function instead of the intended `kernel::build_error!` macro, e.g. see the previous commit. To force to use the macro, move it into the `build_assert` module, thus making it a compilation error and avoiding a collision in the same "namespace". Using the function now would require typing the module name (which is hidden), not just a single character. Now attempting to use the function will trigger this error with the right suggestion by the compiler: error[E0423]: expected function, found macro `kernel::build_error` --> samples/rust/rust_minimal.rs:29:9 | 29 | kernel::build_error(); | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ not a function | help: use `!` to invoke the macro | 29 | kernel::build_error!(); | + An alternative would be using an alias, but it would be more complex and moving it into the module seems right since it belongs there and reduces the amount of code at the crate root. Keep the `#[doc(hidden)]` inside `build_assert` in case the module is not hidden in the future.
