[PATCH v2 0/6] Rework index projection syntax

[Gary Guo]

This series reworks the index projection syntax in the pointer
projection infrastructure to use the keyworded syntax to be more explicit.

Doing this allows adding a new panicking variant of index projection,
just like the normal index operator. This is useful for cases where
compiler cannot prove (or cannot reliably prove) access is inbounds.

The new syntax looks like this:
- `[try: index]`: Fallible indexing (replaces `[index]?`).
- `[build: index]`: Build-time checked indexing (replaces `[index]`).
- `[panic: index]`: Runtime panicking indexing (newly added).

DMA sample driver and nova core is updated.

Danilo, we previously discussed merging this series with I/O projection for
patch logistics. However, I'll need more time for next version of I/O
projection (implementing view types that have original container type
erased) which won't make it this cycle. This new version for projection
syntax rework is minor changes only comparde to v1, so I think it's worth
sending out so it can still land this cycle and get out of the way.

Changes in v2:
- Fix missing colon in documentation (Alice)
- Reworded safety comment (Andreas)
- Convert `unwrap_or_else` to match (Alice)
- Split rename of `index` to `build_index` to a separate patch (Alex)
- Dropped nova cmdq refactor as this will be better served in the I/O
  projection series.
