rust: use libc::Ioctl type for ioctl() request argument
The second argument to ioctl() can be defined as a different type by different libc implementations, and can be a different size on different architectures depending on what type it is defined as. For example, glibc defines it as `unsigned long` which may have a different size on 32-bit vs. 64-bit architectures, and musl libc defines it as `int`. The Rust libc crate exposes a type `libc::Ioctl` which is defined as the appropriate integer type for the given libc implementation. Using this type for the request argument to `libc::ioctl()` ensures code will compile correctly regardless of architecture and libc implementation. Also, because ioctl request numbers are defined to be 32 bits (regardless of the fact that `unsigned long` might sometimes take 64 bits on some architectures), this patch changes the Rust representation of the bcachefs ioctl numbers to u32 instead of u64.
