nova-core's `DmaObject` type has been created to serve the same purpose
as `dma::Coherent`, with the addition of a handy constructor to create
an object from a slice of bytes, but without the flexibility of
`dma::Coherent` since `DmaObject` is limited to slices of bytes.
This series adds new constructors to `Coherent` and `CoherentBox` to
cover this (arguably common) use-case, and updates the nova-core code to
use them. This results in more consistent code overall, and allows us to
retire `DmaObject` and nova-core's `dma` module.
Based on drm-rust-next, with [1] as extra dependency.

Changes in v2:
- Don't use `map` in `CoherentBox::from_slice_with_attrs`.
- Make `Coherent::from_slice_with_attrs` inline.
- Use `CoherentHandle` for the sysmem flush memory page as it doesn't
need to be accessed by the CPU.
- Link to v1: https://patch.msgid.link/20260321-b4-nova-dma-removal-v1-...
