rust: alloc: introduce the VecExt trait

Make `try_with_capacity`, `try_push`, and `try_extend_from_slice`
methods available in `Vec` even though it doesn't implement them. It is
implemented with `try_reserve` and `push_within_capacity`.

This is in preparation for switching to the upstream `alloc` crate.
