[PATCH v5 4/7] rust: time: add Delta::to_jiffies() for timeout conversion

From: FUJITA Tomonori <[email protected]>

Add Delta<Nsec>::to_jiffies() conversion that rounds up so the
resulting timeout is never shorter than the requested span, clamps a
negative span to an immediate timeout, and saturates an overlong span
to the kernel's MAX_JIFFY_OFFSET "wait forever" value.
